Pros

Free mac, tons of swag, amazing job by staff to maintain culture they've built. Everyone is passionate about what they do and it's contagious. Guru is cool because you can literally work from anywhere, very nice that way.

Cons

There's a high turnover rate for Gurus because it's an absolutely brutal job to take. You get ripped into by customers and you become their punching bag for simple issues all the way to high level coding issues. Both you can't normally solve.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
