Process
The hiring process was very disorganized and unprofessional.
Moreover, their interview questions were not designed to test one's aptitude or skill in coding. Rather, they look for people with prior experience in Ruby and other languages they use.
So, unless you are familiar with them, no matter how good at coding you are, they will make you do coding exercises in Ruby and languages you don't know, and then tell you that they will be testing how good you are at picking things up quickly.
Questions
Code a feature for their payroll service in Ruby.

Gusto Work Experiences
- 4.0Great overall culture, but some management issuesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJune 3, 2022Pros: Overall great work-life balance, awesome people, and amazing culture.Cons: When push comes to shove, culture is set aside by some of the managers. As with most startups/tech companies, the company seemed to start compromising its values during more difficult times. I had to leave during the start of the pandemic because the first conversation my manager had with me was about maintaining output during "these unprecedented times" after I had told them I was having a hard time focusing due to my family being high-risk.
- 4.0A good place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAugust 22, 2022Pros: Perfect company culture. Everyone is trying to help unblock you, and there are lots of opportunities to develop and progress.Cons: Region-based salary, which is not good.
