Great Place to Work

Pros

Healthy engineering habits: strong peer review processes, good code hygiene, a general sense that all developers share ownership of the stack together. Managers took career development, and mentorship seriously; feedback from weekly 1:1s was sincerely heard and acted on. Strong IT team managing the corporate network, security audits, on premisses hardware, and AWS. Frequent social events -- arts and craft nights, trivia nights, happy hours to celebrate product launches and milestones, a yearly all-expense paid company retreat to Tahoe. Truly flexible work from home and vacation policies.

Cons

Some growth targets have not been hit

Pros

- Very open culture - you can see all of the projects that are going on and easily ask team members questions - A lot of freedom to share ideas and experiment - Willing to invest in training and development - Great perks - weekly lunches, team activities, global celebrations for things like Pi day - A team that I actually enjoy spending time with

Cons

- It can be quite intense. Worth the effort but wouldn't be a fit for those that just want a simple 9-5 job

Pros

I love the people I work with. I am happy to come to work each day, and I regularly stay after hours to spend time socially with them...happy hours, parties, game nights, etc. Company is good to sponsor these things several times a month. My role is what I expected it to be. The things I do day-to-day are what I was brought on for, and I also get to take on new and interesting challenges when I speak up to my manager with interest in doing so. I feel there is growth potential in my role, and I feel Guidebook prioritizes that for its employees on a broad scale.

Cons

Things are always changing - mostly a result of being in the tech space and having to align with the regulations of Apple + Google. This isn't a con in itself, it keeps the work dynamic and interesting in my opinion, and forces us to stay on our toes and ahead of our peers. The con is that some employees (many of whom have quit and posted reviews here recently) don't handle change well, and bring a negative attitude to the office. This can create a toxic environment. Management tries to handle these cases as quickly and fairly as possible, but there can be pain points that remain even after negative employees depart (voluntarily or involuntarily).
