Pros

It's difficult to think of precise pros for working at GUBI, one that I can think of is that there is no pressure to perform whatsoever. You have the freedom to do as you please and work as you please.

Cons

There is absolutely no social interaction at GUBI whatsoever, you don't interact across departments and rarely interact with others when working. So if you like working independently GUBI is a great place. But if you appreciate a good work culture, bonding with colleagues and so on GUBI is not the place. It will take a long time for you to prove your worth and skills to the company. Your previous experience and skills don't matter unless you are an expert in something. You will, therefore, have very limited responsibility and your growth in the company will be very limited/slow. Lunch is absolutely horrible so if you are to start at GUBI bring your own lunch. Pay is below average. You get a discount on GUBI products but other than that there are no perks working there. Overall, GUBI is a small company with not that many employees, trying to operate like a company with +1000 employees. There is a very hierarchical work environment which is very atypical in today's day and age. Everything is done last minute without any preparation for the near future and analysis. To this day I still don't know 90% of my co-workers and I also don't really know how the CEO looks.

Pros

Strong brand and well-regarded products. Many capable, committed colleagues. High output is expected and delivered.

Cons

Work is frequently driven by late decisions, shifting priorities, and insufficient planning. As a result, constant urgency and last-minute fixes are treated as normal — and even expected — rather than as symptoms of structural issues. There is a recurring narrative that the company “is not for everyone,” often used to explain turnover. People who leave are sometimes described as having “not lasted” or “not been able to handle it,” which implicitly reframes structural pressure as individual weakness. This minimises legitimate concerns and discourages reflection on how the organisation operates. At the same time, those who absorb pressure, work unsustainable hours, or tolerate poor behaviour are more likely to be valued, reinforcing a consultant-style culture where delivery is prioritised regardless of the human cost. Multiple current and former employees, including experienced and highly competent professionals, have been subjected to demeaning communication, humiliation, or bullying. These behaviors are not consistently addressed, which allows them to persist. The overall environment makes it difficult to ask questions, challenge decisions, or create long-term improvements, as urgency and hierarchy tend to override accountability.
