Guidepoint reviews

Low NYC Salary-- other expert networks make more A lot of the job is luck -- luck if people on linkedin respond, and luck if your client likes booking a lot of calls The skills aren't all that transferrable -- need to do something client-facing next Happy hour stinks. No real client relationships are built. Clients view us as lower down Your team really determines your experience here (I was on a hard team and got paid the same as the easy teams) I wish I was on the institutional side, not the consulting side (BCG and Bain are not looking to hire people with an expert network background, but you can build a connection with other hedgefund/bank clients if you are not on a consulting team) On the consulting side, you are assigned one client(company) for all of your work. If you don't have a good client you are ruined. Some teams can easily book 200+calls a month, my team its impressive to get 100 (you get paid per call when you are promoted to Research Manager/Project Manager). The woman that leads consulting loves to publicly call people out for their mistakes on the consulting floor. I once was chatting with my coworker and she told me to "get back to work" (she doesnt even know my name) I think that if you went to a good school and you are a hard worker, you deserve better than this job. Many people leave within the first 6 months.

Micomangement No work life balance, expects to work afterhours/weekends lack of diversity prays on recent graduates Toxic work environment lack of job security Low pay
