As we head into the season of gratitude, it feels especially meaningful to pause and reflect on what makes GuidePoint Security such a remarkable place to work, grow, and belong. When we asked employees what they were most grateful for this year, the responses came pouring in — messages full of heart, humor, honesty, and deep appreciation for the people and culture that shape our daily lives here.

What follows is a celebration of those shared themes: the values we live, the community we build, and the reasons so many of us are proud to call GuidePoint our professional home. 

A Culture That Truly Cares

Across every team, one theme came through loudest and clearest: GuidePoint genuinely cares about its people. Whether it’s industry-leading benefits, flexible work that supports real life, or an unwavering commitment to the “No Jerks” culture, employees recognize they’re part of a company that cares about their well-being, not just their output.

We also nurture connections through our weekly Wellness Wednesday discussions, where employees openly share health goals, challenges, encouragement, and practical strategies with one another. It’s a reminder that at GuidePoint, we don’t just work together, we take care of each other, too. 

“It’s very clear to me that GuidePoint cares about its employees. I’ve never had better insurance, and my family truly feels supported.”

— Brent B.

A Community That Lifts Each Other Up

From new hires to long-tenured experts, people consistently shared how grateful they are for colleagues who are welcoming, supportive, and generous. This is a place where people cheer each other on, share knowledge freely, and help each other become better every day.

That spirit of encouragement shows up in our traditions, too. Every Friday, our Pay It Forward recognition highlights someone new, nominated by the previous week’s honoree, and celebrates the ways they exemplify our culture. These company-wide messages aren’t generic; they’re detailed, heartfelt stories of real work, real impact, and real appreciation.

“The welcome has been so warm and everyone is so wonderful—I’m excited to meet more GPS folks and grow here.”

— Intae N.

Passion for Cybersecurity

GuidePoint is filled with people who are deeply, genuinely passionate about security. Employees wrote about being inspired daily by brilliant teammates, by seasoned mentors, and by a collective drive to be the best in the business. When you’re surrounded by people who love what they do, it changes the way you approach your own work.

“I’m thankful to be surrounded by people passionate about security and challenge us to be the best versions of ourselves every day.”

— Dave W.

Opportunities to Learn and Grow

Our culture encourages curiosity, continuous improvement, and stepping into new challenges. Whether it’s mentorship, professional development, or simply being trusted to bring ideas forward, GuidePoint gives people the room to grow, and the support to thrive while doing it.

“Each day I’m a better person because of what I learn from my team. I’m grateful for the mentorship, support, and trust.”

— George R.

“I am grateful for the culture that encourages and supports both professional and personal growth and learning!” – Elle S.

Flexibility That Supports Real Life

People shared gratitude for remote work, family-friendly schedules, and the freedom to be fully present for the things that matter most. For some, it means attending their child’s activities. For others, it means a dog under the desk, a cat on the keyboard, or a moment to step outside and visit backyard chickens. Life happens — and GuidePoint makes space for it, knowing that a fully supported employee is a happy and productive employee.

“The work flexibility lets me be there for my son’s activities. Plus, the ability to work with my dogs under my feet and cat on my lap is priceless.”

— Angie C.

Whether it’s surpassing major company milestones, expanding our service offerings, hosting educational events, or producing fifty episodes of The Brick House, our teams continually raise the bar. Employees take pride in being part of an organization that not only grows quickly, but grows with purpose.

“Really grateful to be surrounded by such amazingly talented high-achievers. They lift me up and make me want to be better.”

— Katy V.

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work such great people… genuinely interesting and talented people that I really like… from the amazingly gifted corporate and regional marketers, the dedicated and generous Social Advocacy Team (they always make me smile), the host with the most, Gary Brickhouse, and all the Brick House expert panelists. Truly a collection of the best darn team of professionals in the business!”

– Troy B.

Joy in the Everyday Moments

Yes, there’s gratitude for the big things, but also for the small things that make daily life better: lively Slack chats (including a channels dedicated to dogs), approachable leadership, good humor, and coworkers who appreciate each other for who they are, not just what they bring to the table. Also, the free snacks in the regional offices (that always taste better because they’re free). 

GuidePoint is proof that culture isn’t built on strategy and slogans, but on the little moments and daily experiences that add up, turning a group of individuals into a cohesive community.

Wishing You a Warm, Restful, and Gratitude-Filled Holiday

To everyone in the GuidePoint community: employees, customers, partners, and friends – we are grateful for each and every one of you! Your passion, kindness, expertise, and authenticity are what make GuidePoint more than a company. You make it a place people are proud and grateful to be.

Happy Thanksgiving.
May your holiday be full of joy, connection, and maybe even a few extra free snacks.
