What's the Design team like at GuideSpark?
It's a production environment, you're hardly designing. You update templates, add new sections etc. If you got a BFA it's better spent somewhere else. Unless you know your limits and aren't a good designer. Then by all means, this beats working at a newspaper updating awful ads or working for a website making banner ads.
How's the leadership on the Design team at GuideSpark?
Inexperienced in Leadership and Design. This isn't to say they haven't been in the field, just that they don't have relevant learnings, industry influence or decent work. You won't receive any career coaching, mentoring or learning that will further your career outside of GuideSpark. You either buy in and stay or do what you can and leave for something better -anything.
