Gusto reviews

Since joining Gusto almost 2+ years ago, I have gotten to build a business, learn from my peers and senior leadership, and grow a team of incredible people. + Ownership mentality is a real thing. The company places emphasis on trusting in individuals to learn, grow, and achieve goals. If you ask for help, there is always tremendous support. For me, this ability to work autonomously and conquer new challenges every day is is invaluable. + Fun, energetic workplace. Both our Denver and SF offices are dynamic places to be. Some days, there is a literal buzz in the air. Dress code is casual and, of course, you can wear your favorite slippers or socks. + The PEOPLE here are talented, smart, and driven. I'm constantly learning new things from my peer group, the people on my team inspire me with their work ethic and desire to grow, and senior leadership takes time to engage with Gusties at all levels. + The benefits: great health insurance options, a "Flyaway" (1 year ticket anywhere) on your 1 Year Anniversary, packages for new parents, fertility options to name a few. Our HR team is thoughtful in making selections while doing the right thing for our stage in the business. + The culture is truly accepting and open. I feel like I can be my true self at Gusto and I am confident that my peers value me as much for my differences as similarities. + Equity for all employees. Our finance team has constructed one of the most thoughtful equity offerings in the Valley to make everyone owners of the business. + The company is doing really well and doing things the right way. Given the complexity of our business and the importance of staying compliant, I'm proud of the way we've built our business while still moving fast. We've got big goals and we continue to focus on the customer and why we're building this business - to create a world where work empowers a better life.

Benefits are pretty solid. 401k matching was recently removed, but that was atypical for a startup anyways. PTO is actually unlimited and employees tend to take an above average amount (at least in my department). We have a sizable customer base and they generally love the product. Engineering is of above average quality. Very good employee retention rate (employees are probably just happy in general). C suite is very transparent about financials and business dealings and decisions. The company culture has a handful of unique elements (e.g. annual company wide camping trip/getaway)
