I went through the interview process with Guru Energy Drink and wanted to share my experience with others.
The hiring process included three interviews: one with HR, one with the hiring manager, and one with the CEO.
Prior to my interview, I had come across a few dated reviews online, but I didn't take them too seriously since there were only a handful. However, as a more recent interview candidate, I can confirm that the issues mentioned in those older reviews are still prevalent. One of the biggest disappointments I encountered during my interactions with the company was the lack of communication. Despite investing several hours in the interviewing process, I was left in the dark after it concluded. I never received any follow-up or feedback, which was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. It's disheartening to invest your time and effort into a company only to be ghosted if you're not selected as the chosen candidate.
Additionally, the team's lack of professionalism in their email correspondence was concerning. The emails I received lacked proper grammar and overall attention to detail. This gave me the impression that the company doesn't prioritize professionalism, which is a red flag for any job seeker.
Furthermore, if you're considering a role with Guru energy drink outside of Montreal, I would advise against it. The company expresses ambitions to grow beyond Quebec, but it seems the current staff has an extremely limited knowledge of what is happening outside the province. This lack of awareness and understanding can lead to inefficient operations and hinder the company's growth in other regions.
In conclusion, based on my personal experience as an interview candidate, I would not recommend Guru energy drink as an employer. The lack of communication, unprofessional email correspondence, and limited knowledge of operations outside of Quebec make it clear that this company may not be the right fit for those seeking a professional and growth-oriented workplace. Proceed with caution when considering Guru as a potential employer.
