Current Employee – been working at Guavus full-time for less than a year

Pros- open door policy across all levels
- room for growth
- ownership of work product
- no micro management
- company is fast paced & growing rapidly
- never a dull moment

Cons- not enough minutes in the work day to get it all done

Current Employee – been working at Guavus

ProsThe company has unlimited potential. We are growing fast and every day is an exciting challenge. The talent here is amazing, but there there is no problem with egos. Everyone has a huge impact on the success of the company. The leaders are very approachable.

ConsThis is not a place for someone who wants predictability - you have to be able to shift gears quickly.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep the small company atmosphere even as the company grows. Take time to celebrate the successes.

Current Employee – been working at Guavus

Prosgreat technology with enormous market potential. Really exciting opportunity for people who get jazzed about building a high value company, and aren't afraid to jump in and use their initiative to get things done.

ConsThe company is growing fast which means sometimes their are rapidly shifting priorities and you need to insert yourself into conversations to make sure you're always current and focused on the most important projects.

Advice to Senior ManagementGiven that employees are spread across varying time zones and regions it would be helpful to implement a more user-friendly social collaboration platform for easier communications and sharing of ideas.
