Testimonials

What employees at CareGuide think about working there

“I’ve learned a tonne from my colleagues here since joining. Brilliant humans in every department, and a company wide emphasis on mentorship make a great environment for personal development.”

“Lots of opportunity to make decisions. On the flip side, some of my colleagues wish there was more hands on guidance. I love the freedom/high-trust environment that is present, but recognize that others may find this stressful.”

“Really appreciate the large focus on company culture. Team socials & company retreats help create strong bonds, although I do still feel we could do more cross-team socializing”

“Sometimes I feel my manager is a tad junior. However, given this is a culture that trusts people to level up, I understand that being patient with their learnings is only fair as they are patient with mine. We still push each other to be better, and so get the best of both worlds.”

“High performance culture where employees are trusted to solve problems and make decisions. The people here aim high, but succeed and fail together.”
