Pros
Great culture, growing company with lots of opportunity, great market space (future security), and a nice team. Cloud based so you can work from anywhere.
Cons
Based in Montreal, so upward upward mobility is harder remote. Tech business so a lot of turnover, and growing rapidly, so you must be comfortable with constant change.

Soooo happy you enjoy working at Guru. We take great pride in our culture and we work hard to make sure we offer awesome work conditions to all our people...
Thans for your review :)
I had no complaint about Gurus until they started suing everyone who decided to take a job at other companies. I know of 7 people who are being sued. Mind you this is not for any misconduct on the part of the 7 people, but just because they left Gurus to work at other companies. If you consider working with them, I would recommend that you ask to see ANY and ALL paperwork they ask you to sign. Pay careful attention to the non-compete agreement, because they will use it against you when you leave and attempt to prevent you from getting another job in the area of your expertise. If you can live with that, then it’s a good company.

Thank you for your feedback. Firstly, we appreciate you saying that we are “fun” and have “energetic teams” – we pride ourselves on our dynamic culture and high level of collaboration in all of our projects. In terms of legalities, our paperwork is standard for our industry. After all, restrictive covenants are not unusual in a competitive technology-based vertical like the one we work in. There is no clause that restricts former employees from using their skills to earn a living outside of a direct competitor. But we certainly encourage our employees to carefully read any and all paperwork, as it is a best practice at any company. It also allows an opportunity for an in-depth discussion between employer-employee, and might help clear things up at an early stage to avoid confusion at a later point, which seems to be the case here. I encourage any and all interested parties to contact us at hr@gurussolutions.com with any questions or issues they might have.
