Pros

Smart people, fast moving, very unique in the industry

Cons

I cannot emphasize the lack of diversity enough. There is not a single brown or black person within middle management, execs or the board, not one. With 300+ employees there are maybe 10 black/brown employees. There are "inclusive interview" tips that don't amount to anything PR.

Pros

The benefits package is great, and some (I repeat SOME) of the people who work there are really incredible.

Cons

Absolutely toxic management. Empty promises on promotions. The CEO could absolutely care less about the employees he has working at this company in addition to what happens to them. He is so far removed from Guideline and it is so blatantly obvious. They just went through their second round of layoffs for the company after quoting to the entire company there would be "no more layoffs" and now on LinkedIn they are hiring again for those same positions from the mass of layoffs? Ridiculous. The main issue is with management though. I went to HR several times about my manager and I not getting along and seeing eye to eye on my career goals and I never felt listened to. If you want to work for a company simply for the paycheck and just keep your head down and fly under the radar, this is the company for you. Going above and beyond gets zero recognition and the management in certain departments is beyond toxic. Some of the managers truly DO NOT deserve to be leading teams of people. They are uncaring, unfeeling, and Guideline does not take mental health problems seriously. I've never felt so low at a company as I did when I worked here.
