The interview process consisted of five rounds:

• Online Assessment (OA)
• Phone Screen
• 60-minute Technical Interview
• 90-minute Work Session
• 30-minute Behavioral Interview

The OA, phone screen, 60-minute technical interview, and behavioral interview were all very pleasant experiences. The technical difficulty was easy, and the interviewers were extremely friendly and communicative.

The 90-minute work session was horrible. I think I got unlucky with a very bad interviewer. He was uncommunicative, had his camera off, gave passive responses, and asked extremely vague questions that he did not clarify when I asked clarifying questions. The experience was not at all as "collaborative" and "pair-programming-esque" as advertised. I believe my rejection was because of this experience. I solved the technical question, and we spent quite a bit of time discussing the code, but our communication levels were off because he was simply unwilling to communicate. It made me feel awful.

I still think Gusto is an amazing company and a great place to work, just very frustrated with the behavior of my work session interviewer. I felt that I might have gotten an offer if I had a better interviewer.

Why Gusto?
