A Company that Cares about YOU and your Career Progression - Account Executive Guidemark Health Employee Review

Guidemark Health (GMH) is one of the nicest companies I have had the pleasure of working with in my career. GMH is filled with amazing, kindhearted, talented, and driven people. It also is generally a scrappy environment, so your creative work will have a lot of opportunity to shine while still maintaining an excellent quality of life. Yes, the work-life balance is a huge perk; it’s very balanced. GMH is also great about remote working, which is important in this industry these days. There’s so much more. The creative team is a talent powerhouse across the board. The account folks are reasonable and kind. The PMs remain flexible. Editorial is on-point. The CEO is a genius. I could go on and on. The opportunities are boundless. If you’re looking for a very special place to park your cart, you’ll be lucky to land at GMH.

There is always room for process improvements at small- to mid-sized shops, but many of you who are reading this may already know that. Don’t worry about it. It’s honestly not a big deal. Process organization does exist at GMH. Great work gets done and you are able to live a high-quality, balanced life at the same time. Enjoy it.

An exceptional platform for mediocrity. All you have to be is somewhat decent and you'll be head and shoulders above the majority.

Glassdoor is manipulated in many companies and Guidemark is no exception. I am confident that any 1 star or above review is done by HR or the Exec leadership team, and shared to try to win points. The responses you see from the consultant they fired from the failed merger is disingenuous. It is not the former CEO or former bad apples that define what's wrong with Guidemark today. It's the back-channeling executives who know there's disorganization and distrust and let their over-inflated sense of importance cloud good judgement and anger good talent. The problem has been and continues to be that a handful of talent is responsible for the bulk of the work and the rest are under-performing or unnecessary. The current 'stand-in' leader brought in a slew of people that have created rifts between teams, an enormous lack of delivery, and distrust among the senior execs who lie through their teeth about synergy and group efforts. It's a meal ticket and there's no passion. A recipe for disaster and I believe everyone knows that we're a falling stone that occasionally sees a parachute to slow our decent but eventually, we'll crash. I'm not unhappy with my role, only with our leadership who can't look past their own egos and be truthful with what they are and mostly, what they aren't. I also feel most badly for our clients who deserve better.
