Pros
I've been at Guidebook for 5 months and it's the best job I've ever had. This is my third job and I've been working for a little over 5 years. Simply put, the people at Guidebook are incredible. They care about my success and I enjoy working alongside them everyday. Other things I like about my job: I messed up twice in my first few months. Instead of freaking out, the VPs involved explained how I should have handled the situations I am trusted with more responsibility than at my other jobs (at larger companies). I can actually see how my work helps the company succeed Healthy work/life balance My goals are super clear The last thing worth mentioning: I remember back to when I was interviewing and reading Glassdoor reviews. I was a bit worried by some of the negative reviews. I know 7 people really well at the company (to the point where we share our honest opinions about working at Guidebook with one another outside the workplace). We're all very happy and have no serious complaints.
Cons
The split offices between SF and Palo Alto are nice (commuting sucks), but it does have some negative effects. It's hard to get to know everyone and can hurt communication.
