Applied online and received an online assessment within a day. A day later, I received an e-mail (not sure if automated) telling me to finish the assessment since I had not started on it. I finished it and never heard back from Gusto. Basically, their time is more important than yours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's a series of multiple choice questions that each tackle a very specific subset of software engineering. From code in C to jQuery and Ruby. You get 2 minutes to answer each question and is used to assess your strengths and general knowledge.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gusto (New York, NY) in Jun 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.
