      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Inspirational vision from founders - Hard-working, GSD culture across the entire organization - Lots of opportunities as company is still small - Energy with recent new product announcements + new "Gusto" name - Ownership mentality- people treat work personally vs. a 9-5 transactional experience

      Cons

      - Given the fast paced nature of the company there is some ambiguity with roles/responsibilities. That being said, there is so much opportunity in this market that there is enough work to go around.

      Pros

      This is a company filled with interesting people who are motivated and excited to work hard. The culture is inspiring and it's fun to come into work every day.

      Cons

      There can be a sense of lack of loyalty to employees. While the message is that we are all family, some employees have expressed fear that they could be let go at any moment.

      Building a company to last. Meaningful change and evolution

      Pros

      When someone says to you "our co-workers are our family", this is often a load of crap. Gusto really is. One co-worker helped me move. I've gone to movies and concerts with others. We've done team outings that are really team vacations. We accept each other for who we are as people. Flaws, attributes, and all. Just like you do with your family. The founders tell us that we're building this as a company to last. And this mentality permeates every decision we make. Seemingly every six months, the company goes through a major evolution. We go from being a humble 15 person team to 30 to 50 beyond. Roles change, responsibility only increases. And we're trusted, which is important.

      Cons

      Just like any other start-up, there's an expectation that you need to move fast, be brilliant, and be on your A+ game. That's the case here. There's no room for slackers or people that want to coast on the coattails of a successful start-up. This might mean some occasional late nights or weekend work, but believe me it's all worth it. The stakes involved are high, but the reward and achievement is all worth it. With all of this, though, I often feel like I'm doing the best work of my life.
