      Pros

      The energy at the company is contagious! Everyone is focused on building a great company for the long-term. My fellow employees are inspiring, smart, and friendly. Employee satisfaction surveys are off the charts. Very strong management team in place, with relevant experience to scale the team.

      Cons

      There are no cons I can think of at this time.

      Amazing Culture

      Pros

      Even as it grows, Gusto is an amazing place to work. There are common growing pains that are necessary as a company scales as quickly as Gusto has, but they constantly try to measure and take feedback every month to find whats working and what is not. This level of care definitely makes for a comfortable environment to work in every day.

      Cons

      There are not many downsides to working at Gusto. The biggest for my department is probably work-life balance. Theres no problem with going home after (or even before) dinner, but if you want to take on big projects, you'll see the people that usually do are the ones that stay late all the time.

      Don't Believe Any Reviews

      Pros

      Pros only when they interview you, they fill your head with the idea that this is a "Zen " play and that is not true whatsoever. Only pro's would be the food.

      Cons

      Don't believe what you read. They ask people to fill out GlassDoor reviews on their first day or first week so their score is positive because in reality they treat people terribly. I saw so many people who had worked here for a long time, get fired for no reason other than the management cannot manage. They hire inexperienced people to lead teams and treat people like they are a number. If you leave before 7pm, you will be talked about. Once you leave even if on your own terms (like me) they make sure to bad mouth your name to everyone, making it seem like you did something. Work here if you like constant change, cold people and the a hostile work environment.
