      Pros

      Great projects, and wonderful talent on the floor of the studio. There are some truly intelligent, accomplished people who work here, outside of top executives. If you don't have to deal directly with upper management, you may have a good time here.

      Cons

      Utterly dysfunctional upper management, as demonstrated by the constant turnover in the senior ranks. This company, which outwardly prides itself on creating "positive" programming to children, actually operates with zero integrity. They exploit their employees at any opportunity.

      We're sorry you felt your voice was unheard. Guru demands respectful communication between all levels of talent, regardless of seniority, and are always ready to listening to great new ideas from smart people that will help us improve how we function. We've never missed a deadline! Fun fact: the average historical length of term in our senior (upper) management at Guru has now risen to 13 years! We think that's very low turnover or an 18 year old company!

      Pros

      Friendly people with fun projects. I enjoyed snack days as ridiculous as it seems. This was my first animation studio job and I learned a lot. Much of it was by making mistakes and having a decent support network help me.

      Cons

      Not too many. Mainly I don't like that trying to get a full time contract with them is a fruitless endeavor, and that benefits are not offered.

      Thank you for your comments. As of 2015 we have offered a competitive benefit package. Our contracts are structured on Canadian animation industry standards and project- to-project contracts allow us to better manage and maximize our tax credit support and government paperwork. Many Guruvians have been here for years - some over a decade, migrating from contract to contract and enjoying the same benefits, pay raises and security of a full-time employee.
