Helps me connect with colleagues I’d never usually interact with
I’m in a standalone role in a huge international business, and the mentor/mentee matching means that I was able to connect with someone in another continent with the experience and skills I was looking for. I love that it also has options for reverse/upwards and peer mentoring, as I think people tend to think about mentoring as a junior-senior relationship, when really it’s possible to learn from people at any level.
CONSWould be nice to have a couple more integrations - Microsoft Teams plugin so I could open it within the same app, and perhaps a connection to our peer recognition programme

Huge thanks to the Guider Team
The Guider team were fantastic to work with: helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about their product. They set up our programme rapidly, were always available to receive feedback and provide guidance, and I have no doubt they'll see major success in the future.
PROSThe matchmaking element of the software was incredibly helpful in automating our mentoring programme; with 80+ mentors and 70+ mentees, facilitating the matchmaking manually would have been a real pain point, and the automated nature of Guider freed up time to focus on engaging with mentors and mentees and gathering feedback.
CONSThe lack of back end was frustrating – the Guider team were helpful in setting up a Google Data Studio, but this was limited by the data displayed, and at times it felt we had limited visibility into the programme on an ongoing basis.
Reason for choosing Guider
Price and speed.
Reasons for switching to Guider
Airtable lacked the matchmaking functionality and only worked as a database for mentors and mentees.

A good perk for work
mostly positive but i think that is helps the most with facilitating introductions
PROSI find it a great perk offered at work, it's quiet easy to use and has connected me with people in different parts of the business
CONSI found it really difficult to schedule meetings in the app so i use Outlook instead. i also use outlook to chat with my mentor a lot more

Great for learning!
The standout feature for me has been the mentor and mentee matching. It's really intuitive, and paired me with a mentor who perfectly aligns with my professional goals and personality. Overall, it’s helped my progression and relationship building at work.
CONSIt took some time to navigate through the various features of the platform. However, once I got the hang of it, it proved to be easy to use and beneficial to my progression.
