Pros

- The biggest pro is definitely culture. It all starts with a high bar in our values-fit interview. We've managed to curate some of the most talented, thoughtful, and humble people that I've ever had the chance to work with. - Plenty of career opportunities. Working at a growing company means that there are always plenty of things to do and ways to stretch yourself. - Mentorship is valued and really easy to find. Everyone is incredibly helpful and wants everyone else around them to do well. As a result, it is easy to find support everywhere - Opportunity to make a real difference for people. We've always focused on small businesses and hearing the stories from our customers really drives home the impact we are making. - Flexible work hours and PTO. Free lunch and dinner (that is amazing).

Cons

- It's hard for us to call ourselves a startup anymore. As we've grown there are more and more faces that I don't recognize at the office. But we've done a good job of keeping the most important parts of the culture.

Pros

+ Gusto has a truly world-class culture. Gusto tries hard to empower their employees and makes sure that everyone is working in super impactful projects. + All of my coworkers are extremely nice and friendly. Everyone at the company cares deeply about the problem that Gusto is trying to solve. “Do the right thing” is one of Gusto’s core values and it shows in everything that we do from our large projects to the small things that people do every day for each other. + Extremely cooperative environment. I have had the opportunity to work on some challenging projects, but management does not drop a project on you and turn away. They provide plenty of support whenever you need it. My coworkers are always extremely willing to help. + Work-life balance has improved a lot over the years. The company actively encourages employees to take time off and I have never felt that I was prevented to do something because of work. + Introspection is a core part of the culture at Gusto. We regularly review the current status of the team and company and we evaluate how things can be better. + Gusto has all of the things you would expect from a Silicon Valley tech firm, but nothing feels over the top. It has amazing benefits, free lunch and dinner, fun social events, and a casual work environment. Additionally, Gusto offers a free trip anywhere in the world after 1 year at the company.

Cons

- The SF office could be nicer, but they've done a great job of making the space feel cozy and welcoming. - There is no time to cruise here at Gusto. Everyone is tasked with ambitious projects with aggressive deadlines.
