Pros

# The People - The people at Gusto are phenomenal! These are some of the most brilliant people I've worked with. The Invite Team (aka recruiting) in particular works really well within our team and across cross-functional teams. People really care about each other here. We give "kudos" in our team meetings and highlight our peers' accomplishments. I feel that my managers and mentors are invested in my growth and learning. # The Space - Our new office is BEAUTIFUL! There's lots of extra desk space, couch space, and opportunity to stand/sit away from your desk. Plus I love our community mural (and the couches are comfy :-). There are also little tributes around the office to our Gusto customers! # The Culture - We're encouraged to celebrate our peers' victories, cover for each other when OOO, and take time off to be with family and volunteer. There's a culture of care and empathy here at Gusto that I haven't experienced anywhere else. There's also a lot of transparency within the company. During our company-wide meetings, the exec team hosts a monthly Q&A. These are recorded and distributed to the rest of the company at the end of each meeting - it's a great way to stay informed and ask questions (no matter how difficult).

Cons

#The Commute - Commuting for me personally is fine thanks to carpool. However, it's been a pain point for Gusties living in the East Bay

Pros

- Gorgeous new office - spacious and fosters collaboration - Inspiring mission and inspiring women at the exec level - COO and CMO are real, honest, and transparent - Fulfilling work and career pathing - ample opportunity to take on exciting new projects at all levels

Cons

- A lot of internal promotions, which leads to a lot of first time managers. An area of improvement would be more robust training for these new managers.
