      Pros

      When you work as hard as folks at Gusto and maintain such an energetic and upbeat work environment, it says a lot about the culture here and the dedication to preserving its integrity. This is a special place to work and it's a privilege to come here every day.

      Cons

      At times, there's misalignment cross functionally, but that's more a symptom of being a burgeoning start-up than anything else. There's no shortage of effort to stay on the same page but sometimes it's just very difficult to do so.

      Pros

      I've been here for three months and I can't imagine being anywhere else. Even though there is a lot of work, the people that you get to work with make the company a great place to come into every day. The perks are great but the fact that the whole company is built around helping others makes it so that you feel like you're a part of something bigger.

      Cons

      Still a lot to figure out with processes, but that's expected of a startup.

      Pros

      People are great, team is tightly focused. The company is growing really fast and doing exciting, impactful things. I expected my enthusiasm to die down after the first month or so, but it's been kept up by the team and the product and the customers' love for what we build.

      Cons

      There isn't always a clear escalation structure. The company is growing really fast, which is sometimes a challenge for existing processes. There is not a good boardgame group here (yet)!
