Cons

Tech startup life is not for everyone. We expect our people to work hard and be passionate (but then go home!). During hyper-growth (our current state) priorities can change quickly. As a result, there are always new challenges to tackle. People require a level elasticity, in their role, and an openness to being adaptable, in order to get things done collaboratively. The initial salary is also a bit lower than working for an established corporation. But for those willing to roll up their sleeves, there is a tremendous amount of learning, and the opportunity to fast-track their career.

Pros

Great people that care about what they do. It was a pleasure to be part of the team; I always felt that my work and opinion were valued. The work can be challenging at times, but the atmosphere at Guusto does not make it feel overwhelming at all.

Cons

Not really, keeping doing the amazing work that you are doing

Pros

The people are amazing, work is always a fun environment! A lot of flexibility to focus on projects that interest you. Learning opportunities are endless. Great mentorship from co-founders, with a great deal of encouragement and recognition.

Cons

Fast paced environment, so be prepared to adapt quickly.

Pros

I would rate my time as a co-op student at Guusto a 5/5 and I felt recognized throughout the term. Joe took time out to recognize my work on sales and that really helped motivate me to do even more.

Cons

I think one thing that would have made it a 6/5 is receiving more responsibilities as I became accustomed to my role.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and work on high-profile projects. Friendly environment filled with very smart people. Skai and Joe are two great mentor who highly value the opinion of their employees, and are always open to new ideas. The company is growing a lot, which makes us proud of our work.

Cons

Not as structured as a big company, but that's part of the working-in-a-startup deal.
