I have been working at Gusto full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
I have so many wonderful things to say about this company. To start Gusto is the only company I have worked for that truly cares about you as a person and not just as a number. Leadership is transparent and honest which in my opinion is not easily found at other companies! Team leaders don't micromanage you and are responsive to your feedback. The environment in the Denver office can't be beat. Gusto offers catered lunches and kitchens stocked full of snacks. You have access to great healthcare benefits that are fully covered by the company. Unlimited PTO. And never have I had a case of the 'sunday scaries' since working here! I look forward to seeing my team everyday and doing meaningful work that makes an impact.
Also, Gusto was one of the first Denver companies to respond to COVID-19. They allowed all employees to work from home before shelter in place even went into effect. And kept all employees employed (no mass layoffs, no furloughing employees, etc.).
Cons
To work here you need to be okay with change. Gusto is still a fairly new company and will make changes based on feedback we receive from customers/employees. You will have a lot of work to do some days, but the work you do will have a tremendous impact on customers. You tend to notice that employees who haven't worked for other companies take for granted how good it is at Gusto. The pay can be on the low side if you are customer facing but you don't really notice it with all the other perks & benefits Gusto has to offer.
Advice to Management
None, keep up the great work!
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gusto.
Interview
the interview process was quick - i was contacted by HR to schedule a phone call - i was contacted a few days later by one of the managers in the department - questions were easy and general - contacted by HR to complete an at-home assignment, submitted assignment and i was then invited to the office for in-person interviews with four team members - spoke to each for about 20 minutes and one was solely on the company culture - found out a few days later that i received the job.
