Gusto

Our values guide all aspects of how we run the company.

1. Ownership mentality

If you see something, change something. Every employee has the power and responsibility to make decisions as a literal and figurative owner of the company. You're a steward of our values and an advocate for our customers. As such, you're trusted to point the company toward true north.

2. Don't optimize for the short term

#ItsAMarathonNotASprint Be loved by your future self. Building for tomorrow is easy; we want to build a company for twenty years from now. Short-term gains never justify long-term sacrifice.

3. We are all builders

From engineering to PR, from a day-one intern to the Board of Directors, everyone can directly contribute to our success. We are collectively building the product and company of our dreams. The journey matters to us as much as the goal.

4. Go the extra mile

Strive for greatness in everything you do. Go beyond delivering what works to discover what delights.

5. Do what's right

What is right isn't necessarily the same as what is easy. You never hold your pride or career above our customers' needs. You want to build a company that creates value beyond mere capital. Trust every team member to make tough calls and recognize that they rely on you to do the same.

6. Be transparent

Empower others to do their best work. Proactively sharing information engenders trust and drives smarter decision-making. You're as quick to publicly document your mistakes as you are to celebrate victories, so teammates can learn from your experiences.
