This job is absolutely a joke. If you're Associate, all you do is scamming professionals on LinkedIn under ridiculous pressure by managers. I feel so sorry for associates because they're forced to chase advisors every 30min until they get replies. More than a half of registered advisors are more than senior manager levels, and they can be your future employers. If you're a RM or PM, you'll be expected to work like robots all day. I joined a month ago and I've already learned that this business is NOT sustainable. What you do is basically searching someone on in-house developed horrible CRM, send sales emails to advisors, stalking on them until they respond and schedule calls. You can imagine all you need is a good quality automated platform for this service. The company hire young people with cheap salary and make them work all time across the continents because the speed is the only thing to stand out from the competitors! How miserable it is!! You join this company expecting something professional, but there's no job you can be really proud of!!! There is NO difference from selling lemonade on the street. No creativity, no transferable skills, no autonomy, no joy. You'll be expected to reply emails/messages in 5min no matter what you're doing because some people think you do NOT receive corresponds unless you reply. There are so many unrealistic events I've seen over the last 30days, which I've never encountered in my whole career! If you can stay with this company for more than 3 years, you're not for the other companies. Extra work with terrible in-house developed technology. Can you believe there is NO REAL technology to manage projects, communications and scheduling? That's their core business! I have to tell you this - some employees are so busy with snitching each other to show they're the one who are working hardest to the rotten management. They snitch nothing important - they always complain about you with some reasons but all they want to say is "I don't like him because he doesn't copy every single of my words". You'll never be able to learn how to "discuss" as a grown-up if you stay here. Pathetic micromanagement because they do not have ability to trust colleagues and share responsibilities. Unbelievable? You know what - this is actually happening within the company!!! Look at 1 star reviews. They haven't changed NOTHING since 2014!! They're all true. Don't get fooled by this company's job ads filled with inaccuracies. I want to let you know that if you're joining Guidepoint, recently Dusseldorf office was shut down and more than 60 employees were dismissed. That can happen to any offices. ANY office.
