Gusto has the most organized and well run hiring process I've ever encountered. Before each round the recruiter called me to tell me about who I'd be meeting with, and the types of questions they'd ask. This demonstrated a level of preparation and consistency not commonly found at startups.

The interview process was extensive and thorough, but I felt comfortable the entire time, like I was speaking with real people about real goals and values. I was kept looped in on all stages of the process and felt as though there were clear expectations about my skill set and responsibilities. The recruiter did a great job preparing me for the in-person interviews, walking me through the schedule, and talking about the company. I felt awesome about the company throughout the whole process, even when I was challenged.
