I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gusto (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2014
Interview
The whole place had a warm, friendly, not-too-big vibe to it. The technical questions were straightforward; not trivial but nothing too scary either. What really closed it for me was the way in which the employees talked about their product & their mission - I could tell that everyone really believed in the company and was committed to helping it succeed. I also got the sense that this wasn't one of those places that treated their entry-level people like cannon-fodder; i.e. that I would have ample opportunity to grow professionally here. So far my suspicions have been confirmed :)

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.

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.
