      Pros

      The people here are smart, passionate, and great to work with. The culture is collaborative. The leadership team recognizes the value of a strong culture. They continue to be invested in our people & that says a lot while we're in this stage of continued growth. I enjoy my job and I look forward to contributing each day knowing I make an impact.

      Cons

      Pro & Con - You have to remain patient. Don't expect all the answers to be there yet.

      Great company, great team --- minimal growing pains.

      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)!

      Amazing workplace culture and mission

      Pros

      There's something about the culture at Gusto that is better than any place I've ever worked. The founders are friendly, approachable and totally open in their decision-making -- they host regular "Ask Me Anything" meetings that anyone can join and ask literally anything. The employees are Silicon Valley smart but also genuinely kind. I haven't worked with a single person I don't really like. The company's mission is also much bigger than payroll and benefits. Everyone is super excited to share the product road map with the world. It's really impressive.

      Cons

      Compensation and benefits aren't yet competitive with a public tech company like Google or Facebook. But that's completely normal for a start-up.
