      Pros

      -Nearly any start-up will say "we care about our people," but Gusto does a lot to build a culture where this is truly the case. Generous benefits, very transparent, nice environment to come every day -Nice stage of growth: ~400 people and growing fast, you get some of the stability of a larger company, but there is still tons to build from scratch -Very impressive trajectory, I'm optimistic about being here for the long-term

      Cons

      -Competitive space (since everyone knows HR, Payroll, Benefits is a space that needs a massive overhaul) -Growing pains from small startup to a larger organization - I experienced this when I worked at Dropbox too. I think Gusto is handling growth really well.

      Pros

      Compared to so many other startups, Gusto is one of the most thoughtful. Sure there are bumps along the way, but we're doing pretty well all things considered! Great trajectory, great people, and great culture. Love that we're creating an inclusive environment, celebrating our wins, and balancing a lot of different pressures with humor and fun. Having been in an awesome, successful start up before, can say this is even better than that experience....we're minimizing the bumps in the road and learning from our mistakes. I also love that there isn't a group or department that is put on a pedestal - we're all in this together.

      Cons

      While it's not a major problem, I worry about the small subset who play the victim - it is not the Gusto way. We're still small enough where we can change things directly or just need to surface the issue to the person who can fix it. It's disheartening when folks are complaining to each other or finger pointing, but not talking to those who can do something to make it better.
