Pros: Individual contributors are typically very friendly, hardworking, and care for each other as well as for customers.

Cons: - Management is tone-deaf and brutal at times (layoffs, benefits removal advertised as "improvements"). - No clear vision from the top. A myopic horizon is often preferred by product managers and managers so they can hit their promotion incentives, which are not crafted to encourage risk-taking or long-term projects.

Pros: Average working company, lots of resources.

Cons: It takes ages to find something.

Pros: Gusto is solving an important problem for small businesses.

Cons: Gusto presents itself as a people-first company, but in time, you’ll learn that management views employees as cogs in the machine. An engineer called out leadership on a policy change that would disproportionately affect URMs. The CEO defended the policy change and noted that there’s plenty of diverse candidates Gusto can hire to backfill any URMs that would need to leave because of the change. Yep, they are committed to diversity! Good luck on building an inclusive environment for their “resources.”
