Pros

There are some great people who work there but what a waste of talent on a dud of a business.

Cons

Great in theory, GutCheck is unfortuantely a failure of a business concept and will never be anything more than a struggling startup. The CEO means well, but the "GASI" culture is force fed to employees and is not a reality. I reported to four different bosses during my first seven months there. My target accounts were a constant moving target and there was a perpetual shift in strategy, direction and approach to sales. During my brief stint, I witnessed a steady stream of key sales personnel departures, e.g. the CRO, RVP, VP of Sales, Dir Sales Ops all left within a six month span. Eventually, one of my peers - who wasn't even a successful rep and had zero experience managing others - became my "boss". Not exactly an environment that sets the stage for success. In sum, if you like to break your neck hustling for peanuts and be bombarded with a constant stream of organizational noise and distracted by half-cocked product "innovations" - by all means, seek out GutCheck...just temper your expectations.

Thank you for taking the time to review GutCheck and how we can improve. It can be difficult to build and scale a first-class organization, and we have certainly learned a lot from the changes we’ve experienced over the last couple of years. With those learnings in hand, we are optimistic about our current positioning and ability to scale, primarily driven by new investments and expertise in sales, product, and people operations/culture. That said, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally to learn more about your experience. But if we don’t get an opportunity to speak, please know that your feedback was heard and we will work hard to improve.

Pros

GutCheck is an amazing company to work for. The executive team is made up of very talented individuals, with a clear vision for success, who truly care about the people that work for them. The CEO ensures that the company lives out our mission of being an empathic leader in the market research place both internally and externally. The company has introduced 5 new products to market in the past 1 - 1.5 years and continues to be an innovative leader in the space. Working at GutCheck is dynamic - no day is the same, and you'll always be learning and growing. One of my favorite parts about working at this organization is that if you have an idea and share it, you're very likely to get the green light (and resources!) to make it come to life. The truly amazing thing about GutCheck, though, are the people that make up the organization. GutCheck is full of bright, inspiring, and motivated people who are committed to working together to support each other and our clients.

Cons

I think this is a con for nearly every company right now, but the remote environment has meant that there is slightly less collaboration across different teams, specifically at the individual contributor level. It would be great if there were more cross-functional projects for people to work on so they can get more exposure and have a wider-spread impact across the organization.
