Thank you for your feedback! At GURUS, we understand and are proud to offer work-life balance to our team. However, in our industry, there are sometimes crunch periods where we will ask our team members to temporarily have longer a longer work week in order to deliver a quality project to our client close to the go-live. This is always temporary and we do compensate our employees’ fairly. Once the crunch time is over, we try to encourage the team members to take time off as soon as it is feasible to be able to recuperate physically and mentally! We understand that you were unsatisfied with your pay but we do want to assure you that we conduct a market research on compensation to offer a salary that is inline with the market and respectful of our employees’ skills and time. We try our best to be competitive in the market, but mostly, our priority is to be fair to our employees! We believe in the practices we currently have in place to create a positive employee experience but have always been transparent about improving ourselves. If you would like to share more feedback about the management methods you disagreed with, feel free to continue this chat with us directly! We would love to hear from you!

Hello, Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate it! Our current location has its pros and cons. We have metro Sauve at a 5mins walk from the office and we have free residential parking around. Which helps makes the commute easier for some people. We are also lucky enough to have parks around to enjoy things like ultimate frisbee during lunch time. We are happy to hear that you appreciate the transparency and that your boss is doing a good job! You should let him or her know ;)

Pros

There are no pros as of late

Cons

The developer department at Gurus is run very poorly. The director openly acknowledges that it’s a revolving door for talent, yet their response is simply, “it’s always been like this.” There is no genuine effort to improve retention, listen to feedback, or modernize practices. The focus is almost entirely on billable hours. While innovation, growth, and exploring new technologies are discussed by developers, nothing meaningful is ever acted on. Any progress relies solely on individuals taking the initiative, but with low pay and no career path, there is little incentive to do so. If you raise concerns about compensation, you’ll be told that competitive salaries elsewhere are “unsustainable.” In practice, they rely on cycling through new graduates or those willing to accept salaries well below industry standards. As a developer, you will be severely overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated. Ambition and initiative rarely lead to meaningful opportunities, leaving developers with little motivation to go beyond their basic tasks. If you are someone with ambition, someone who wants to make a meaningful change or achieve more, you will likely end up feeling deflated and even burnt out. If you are motivated by growth, career development, or being part of a forward-thinking group, this is absolutely not the place to be.
