Pros

Fieldguide has an incredible skill of hiring amazing people and having those people unite under their shared mission to change the industry.

Cons

Those incredible people slowly start to realize the cracks in the foundation within the first couple months after the newness fades away and leaderships true colors start to show. They beat down those amazing people into work horses who are never shown recognition and are always told to deliver better. Nothing is ever good enough unless you are working around the clock and can read the leadership team’s minds to deliver perfect work. This company entails toxic work culture to its very core. Do not be fooled by the friendly people you meet during interviews.

Pros

The product is genuinely strong and solves a real problem in the audit and advisory space. The people are sharp, and there's no shortage of talent or technical capability in the building. Remote flexibility is a real benefit and is handled well. For anyone energized by early-stage product and a fast-moving market, there's interesting work to be found here.

Cons

The core issue is leadership and direction. Strategy and priorities shift frequently enough that it's difficult to build sustained momentum, and decisions don't always reach the people executing them with enough clarity or context. I also observed dynamics that, in my experience, did not treat all employees equitably, which affected how work and influence were distributed. The combination of a strong product and uneven leadership creates a gap that falls on individual contributors to absorb.
