Gusto reviews

A lot of soap-boxy speech by individuals who idolize their jobs. Also the company preaches about how they are so unique and different, "anti-corporate", etc. I have worked in corporate America and this is pretty much the exact same thing (with a cooler office environment and free meals, but also lower pay). Some of the root issues found in any workplace become exacerbated due to the high number of millennials who believe they are entitled to hold leadership positions so they can boss other people around, despite having proven very little in terms of actual ability to perform or personal work ethic. I see the company attempting to resolve these issues by hiring individuals who actually are qualified to lead, so this might sort itself out, with time. Not a ton of engineering resources for internal enhancements, which can make doing my job difficult sometimes. Some toxic energy here. Most people at the individual contributor level consistently feel job anxiety. It is the type of environment where it feels like you could make one mistake and be fired. Or make no mistakes, and still be fired anyway.

Meaningless culture buzzwords, frequent random firings, wrongly attributed culpability, lack of career development, poor leadership, below market compensation, biased Glassdoor reviews (asked to post in your first week), tedious work, poor prioritization of engineering efforts, Stanford duck syndrome, minimal talent
