Pros
Mission: Guild is a place to make a tangible, positive impact on the world at a time when societal challenges can feel overwhelming. The stories we hear about people whose lives have changed are so inspiring.
Opportunities: Guild has gone through a lot of changes in the past few years and is continuing to transform itself. There is a lot of product innovation, a focus on improving existing processes (including a commitment to real AI use, not performative), and the chance to be part of Guild's next phase.
Teammates: Guild is full of talented, passionate, hard-working people who are excited by new ideas and generous with their time. There is a near-constant buzz of ideas, insights, and lessons that employees freely share with one another because they focus on the goals and outcomes, not politics.
Hybrid work: Guild encourages people in the Denver area to come to the office a few times per week, but people can choose what works best for them. Remote employees in other parts of the country can visit headquarters.
Cons
Priorities across teams: Since most teams are pretty lean, it's important to build alignment on important priorities early if you need a lot of time from someone on a project.
Transformations: Changes to strategies or team structures can throw some people for a loop, but they can also be energizing for people who lean into the fact that a company at Guild's stage has to stay agile to deliver on its goals and meet customer needs.
