Process
I received a quick email reply after submitting my resume. We scheduled a Skype screen for a few days later.
The interview had to be delayed by an hour, and then we conducted it. There was a bunch of Ruby code that included unit tests, and a piece of functionality had to be implemented.
I thought I implemented it pretty quickly, making the tests pass. The interviewer said I did well and asked if I had any questions. Soon after, I received an email stating that I would not proceed in the process.
Questions
Implement a method in a Ruby class. Failing tests for this feature have already been written.

Gusto Work Experiences
- 5.0like being at homeSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesDecember 17, 2015Pros: Everyone is genuinely nice, friendly, intelligent, and hardworking. Very flexible work hours and unlimited vacation. Very flat organizational structure (we don't use the word "manager", and my team lead feels much more like a peer than a boss). Frequent team outings (bars, woodworking). Great compensation. Transparent CEO and organizational structure. Amazing food in the office (best of 3 startups I've worked at), including catered lunches and dinners. Flexible in terms of how you work (software used, frequency of meetings, etc.).Cons: - Longer hours than average (maybe 45/week for me in particular). - Parts of the office space are getting a little cramped after so much growth.

But that's not unique to ZenPayroll.
