Process
Got sent an online coding exam that asked two questions, and I was able to choose the language I coded in.
The questions were straightforward and fairly easy as long as you are very comfortable with the language you chose.

Great Team, Long Hours
Engineering • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States

Pros: I've worked at a handful of other companies ranging from pretty small to really big, and ZenPayroll really stands out as the place I've best been able to grow professionally and truly enjoy the experience. Who I work with can really make or break things, and I feel really lucky to get to work with and learn from such smart, collaborative, and caring people.
Cons: The hours are definitely longer than at other places I've worked, but we are a startup after all, and it's rewarding work.
