Pros

Learn how a company should not be run. Once you have worked here you will never be unhappy at any of the company you work for

Cons

You will be asked to lie to customers about the product. The rules ( sql queries ) we write are being marketed as Machine learning and AI. The platform was built for POCs and never designed for a production deployment. The platform will never work unless team is actually doing changes from the back end without informing customer. When you are hired you are promised about appraisal. People here work on minimum wage required by H1b. Every time you want to talk about salary adjustment CEO pretends to get a phone call and she runs away from you. Atleast once a week you will see people crying in office as the supervisors are mis treating them. Company believes in hiring managers and making team work 80 hours every week. Managers do not have agreement between them and you get multiple directions. The only way they are able to hire people is by promising H1b and once you get in you are stuck. The time that you spend in the company will get you no career progress, no skills that you can take outside Gurucul and get employed. After this review you will see few 5 stars review by company and that will be the proof of how un ethical the company is

Pros

Super smart, technical, hardworking, friendly, and humble team crazy about customer success. This is our second family and I can personally vouch that all bad reviews here are from bad performing employees. No one has better technology stack and faster product engineering team.

Cons

No patience for any slack in customer success

Pros

Solid Cybersecurity Platform - Sells itself

Cons

The Setup BDR role, 2024. Recruited with promises of competitive compensation to “bring on the best people.” Red flag #1: No comp plan provided at signing. The Pattern • 5.5 months of “it’s on the CEO’s desk” while I generated pipeline • When delivered: 3-4x below market rate with unrealistic quotas • The math: OTE becomes fantasy when base + realistic commission = poverty wages • Classic bait-and-switch: Lock in talent with promises, deliver reality after they’ve invested months The Impact You’re doing enterprise-level prospecting into Fortune 500 accounts while being compensated like it’s your first sales job. The company gets premium work at discount prices. Experienced reps leave, creating constant churn that hurts customer relationships and team morale. The Warning ASK THESE QUESTIONS: 1. “Can I see the full comp plan before signing?” 2. “What percentage of BDRs hit 80%+ of OTE?” 3. “What’s the average tenure of your BDR team?” 4. “Can I speak with current BDRs about realistic earnings?” If they deflect, you have your answer. The Verdict Pro: Strong product with market potential. Con: Leadership treats compensation transparency as optional, not foundational. Any BDR worth their salt would run if they saw the real numbers upfront. I didn’t think a company could operate this way after 10 years in the industry. I was wrong. Bottom line: Never sign without seeing the comp plan. Period.
