I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Guidebook (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
The Interview Process went extremely well. The team worked around my schedule and were very accommodating. Due to my certain situation, I needed that the interviews be expedited and they worked with me, keeping me updated on every step to ensure that I knew what would happen next.
It started with a simple recruiter phone screen which moved onto another phone screen with a hiring manager and finally an onsite interview.
Throughout each step, I was notified immediately with what the next steps were and feedback.
The onsite team was an array of people that I presumably would be working close with. The questions were very work related and fair. They didn't ask random brain teasers to test your knowledge on completely unrelated fields. I liked how the process was straightforward so that you could tell they really were just looking someone qualified for the job.
I was notified of my offer very shortly (within a day) of my final round interview, which I felt showed their enthusiasm and excitement to have me on board. The offer was very fair and up to standard market value. Negotiations were short and sweet, I was able to talk to the Head of Talent about negotiations and we worked on what we both believed as a fair deal. She was also very kind on helping me discuss career paths and helping me decide on what my wants and needs were from a company that ultimately helped me in signing a great deal.
