I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gusto in Apr 2016
Interview
The recruiter got in touch with me on LinkedIn.
In 1 week I had the following rounds
- Call with a developer from the recruiting team
- Online screening
- 2 rounds of pair programming
Easily the best interview experience I've ever had. Everyone was super sweet and very prompt! Within a week of interviews I was called on-site.
Unfortunately I couldn't complete the interview process, due to personal reasons; but I would love to interview with them again and work in what seemed like a fun, fast start up to be in. Would definitely recommend Gusto to my friends looks for new opportunities.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gusto (New York, NY) in June 2025
Interview
Initial recruiter phone call followed by technical phone screen. Question was a simple data parsing to extract/aggregate JSON data. Interview was friendly, and wrapped up with closing questions. I received a rejection email a week later, with no details.

Interview
I was surprised by how cumbersome this interview was, several rounds, on top of take home project. It's really rigorous for a company that isn't FAANG level. Honestly a take home and a discussion of a take home is enough technical signal, instead its take home, coding, take home extension live and systems design, plus values and behavioral session. It's a huge time investment for pay and benefits that are not very competitive.

Interview
medium difficulty, or easier if you look up the q+a's before. one interviewer was late, and had the nerve to mark off points for time. so i did not get a job.
