Pros

In my almost 4 years at Guidebook I learned a lot, made great friends, and grew in my career. The folks who stick around are a really nice community to be a part of.

The compensation is below market rate compared to other Bay Area companies.

Pros

* Fun events and off-sites * Good perks * Good product * Nice people (some of them)

Cons

There are serious problems in upper management. The culture is something between a frat and mean girls. Previous reviews are pretty spot on, referring to it as a "cools kid club." They give promotions to their friends for roles that they have no experience in. Speaking up about it makes you a problem in their eyes. They make up excuses to fire/let go of people for that reason. There's also dating between upper management if you didn't think things could get messier. They preach "transparency" but know nothing about it. P.S. they also under pay you and expect you to work "start-up" hours
