Interview
I applied online and was contact within a month for an initial phone screen. I stumbled a bit during the interview but got the answer in the end and was able to explain myself towards the end. As a result, I had to do another interview which went extremely well. Meanwhile I received an offer from another company that was expiring in a week. I didn't hear back from Gusto for a while so I emailed to get an update and was rejected. I didn't get any feedback. I really liked the company and wanted to interview with them and the fact that I was rejected immediately after informing them of a competing offer left a bad taste in my mouth. Otherwise the entire process was great with very responsive and nice recruiters and engineers.

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.
