      The intersection of fun and hard work

      Anonymous

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gusto is awesome - and for me, it is the perfect blend of "small startup fun" and still having enough structure/ resources that it is not madness. -Very good work-life balance (PTO, schedule flexibility, WFH etc) -Genuinely challenging work (While not the flashiest space, the domain is complex) -Amazing people (both nice and smart) -Equity! (Slice of the pie of a 2 billion company) -No micromanaging -Diversity and Inclusion top of mind and actually walk the walk -Great benefits (catered lunch, free travel at 1 year anniversary, healthcare, etc)

      Cons

      The main cons with Gusto are honestly the best parts - it really just depends on what you like. i.e Scaling at a crazy rate and still experiencing startup growing pains. If "Change is the only constant" does not sound appealing, then Gusto may not be the happiest place for you. -Super fast face growth - this can be a lot to handle and if you take part of interviewing it feels like you have two jobs -There were higher cash offers out there so if you do not value equity you can likely find better offers -Start up "quirks" - i.e no shoes, unique terminology (employees = gusties, PE = manager, etc) - Not a con in my book but if you looking for somewhere conventional then Gusto may fall short
