Pros

- Guild truly cares about students. As a double bottom line company, it is true, of course, that there is a focus on ensuring that we are efficient, developing strong partnerships, and focused on increasing profit. That said, Guild does not let their financial goals lead to the sacrifice of service for our students. Leadership is focusing on enabling our coaches and other student-facing team members to have the skills they need to best serve students. - The people! Most everyone I have connected with at Guild truly believes in the mission. Guild employees want to work for an organization that is focused on serving students in a meaningful way. It creates such a strong culture where everyone is doing the hard work they need to in building a company that is focused on doing good. - Upward mobility. Having had the opportunity to advance my career at Guild, I can attest that it is not easy. That said, it is absolutely possible. It is important to name that I am not necessarily where I want to be in my career for the long term, however, I know that I can trust my manager and our leader to help equip me with the skills to be qualified for future growth. -Investment in employees. Guild has a strong belief in ensuring that while we serve students in advancing their education, employees should also have access to opportunities. They offer a comprehensive education benefit often allowing team members to advance their education at no cost.

Cons

- Guild has grown quickly, and it feels like some of the culture has shifted from being communal / problem solving / friendly to more of an underproductive, competitive culture. - Lack of transparency about Guild's future

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.
