I applied for a Full-Stack/Front-End Software Engineer position. I first talked to an engineering manager for the team I was interested in. Our conversation was very friendly and interesting and he explained the technical challenges the team was planning on addressing in the near future. I then did a phone screen with a Software Engineer using JS and coderpad. The test was quite interesting as it both tested your ability to decode raw input into a useful data structure but also your ability to think of edge cases and your attention to detail. Make sure to ask questions! Finally, my on-site experience was great as well. I first started with a pairing session to add a realistic feature to their real codebase. The collaboration was great and I learned a fair amount about the tech stack they use. I also took part in an other pairing session on a more independent type of problem where we needed to build a functional UI component (user interaction, etc.), also a great experience. Finally, I went through two non-technical "values" discussion, one with an non-engineer and one with an engineering manager. My advice here is to be genuine, Gusto cares a lot about values/mission and it shows in their questions. My conversations with the Gusto folks were interesting and insightful. Overall a great experience and no gotchas at all. If you've built products in your past and you're able to ask questions and ask for help when you're stuck you'll do just fine.
