      Gusto is Wonderful!

      Pros

      Gusto is such a breath of fresh air! I've never worked anywhere where people care so much about employee wellness, career development, AND the customers we're serving. People are here because they are passionate about what we offer to small business owners. The executives are also super down to earth and thoughtful when it comes to making companywide decisions. No one is hiding in an office here! Our work space fosters the openness we strive for in our culture and it makes for a relaxing work environment day to day. People at Gusto are smart, friendly, and driven.

      Cons

      I'd say that we're outgrowing our office space in SF a bit.

      Scaling Startup

      Pros

      I look forward to going to work every day and have the opportunity to work on interesting challenges that will impact hundreds of thousands of Americans. We get to partner with SMBs and help ensure they can concenrate on running their business. There is never a dull day or moment. Finally, I love the peeps I work with and I've heard us best described as "excellence without ego". - Fast moving pace (if you are coming from a large company, this will be jolting). - Product offering expands every month and TAM growing. - Genuinely nice co-workers who care/love our customers.

      Cons

      The inherent nature of an earlier stage company is that our work is never done. This is not for everyone so come eyes wide that we work and play hard. - Don't expect things to be perfect, but do expect to be part of the solution (maybe a pro). - Like anywhere, there is a need for ruthless prioritization so not everything you can hope to accomplish is feasible. - Don't expect a "career ladder" mapped out for your next 3-5 years. Most roles that will exist in 12 months don't exist today.

      Pros

      Mission tied clearly to metrics and activities for every, all levels!

      Cons

      Scaling always brings the pro of growth and the trick of keeping everyone included in the same way as when we were 50 people.
