Pros

Generous equity; strong traction and revenue; design and product focused; pragmatic approach to development; and a strong commitment to retaining and growing key employees. Unlimited PTO policy; catered lunches and a fun, young and energetic staff. Bright future with a ton of growth potential in current and new markets.

Cons

As of the time of this writing, still trying to nail down a balanced compensation plan for the Sales team. Due to the fact that Guidebook is still very much a start-up w/ aims to achieve profitability, compensation can be lower than market average.

Pros

-fantastic people with great senses of humor. Aside from the SDR team, not the typical fratty tech environment -productive work environment -great benefits -lunch twice a week -people are very welcoming and there are a lot of fun events

Cons

-company is not doing as well as they say they are. no transparency. all hands meetings are inefficient and don't analyze real performance data -not a competitive product at all. even though tons of discounts are thrown around people still don't want to buy it and don't feel that it really adds value to their business. - it isn't clear what the marketing team actually does all day. doesn't do well with building the brand name -SDRs are praised and worshiped for setting inbound appointments which are essentially free money...no focus on outbound at all -terrible and very elementary sales training even though CEO has a sales background -No biz ops team -most companies don't see Guidebook as a reputable company. -high turnover -no transparency
