      Best engineering team I've ever been a part of

      Pros

      We work in a highly collaborative environment, and pair program often. The team is very strong overall and comes from a very diverse set of technical backgrounds. Everyone is extremely passionate about our product and empathetic to the problems our customers face every day. Also, there are no egos - everyone is looking to learn and improve, and happy to help others so so as well.

      Cons

      Long hours, but everyone enjoys it and the work is very rewarding

      Great company, great team --- minimal growing pains.

      Pros

      People are great, team is tightly focused. The company is growing really fast and doing exciting, impactful things. I expected my enthusiasm to die down after the first month or so, but it's been kept up by the team and the product and the customers' love for what we build.

      Cons

      There isn't always a clear escalation structure. The company is growing really fast, which is sometimes a challenge for existing processes. There is not a good boardgame group here (yet)!

      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.
