What the Team is Saying

The biggest surprise in my career journey here has been the unexpected depth of my growth in Dreaming Big and Making It Real. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see how this non-technical skill set has directly translated into a significant ability to influence our product strategy, ensuring we always remain resolutely customer-centric.

Gusto has a fantastic culture in large part because of the outstanding engineers we hire. These colleagues have significantly contributed to my growth by offering valuable learning resources, engaging in technical discussions, and providing growth opportunities.

Every decision that we make is based on our Gustomer's wellbeing and Gusties have strong x-functional collaboration that allows teams to problem solve together. Similar to my previous answer, Gusties are always willing to lend a hand, find the time and share best practices to make everyone grow within their role or problem-solve quickly.

What gets me excited about my work at Gusto is the fact that my dad has his own business, and I myself have tried to start my own business. So I know the pain points around making payroll, paying taxes, and hiring — they’re all part of growing a small business! I naturally see me and my dad as potential end users as I build Gusto.

Gusto has supported my growth by creating an environment where mentorship and collaboration are key priorities. I’ve had the opportunity to lead projects such as setting API standards and managing version deprecation efforts, which have really helped me level up in systems thinking and figure out how to influence beyond just my own team.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how collaborative people have been. In some industries, people leave you to fend for yourself. But at Gusto, people are genuinely willing to help nudge you toward growth. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the smartest, most humble people I’ve ever met.

One thing I love about Gusto is that when I express what I want to work on, it’s taken seriously. Not only am I given the opportunity, but I’m also set up with the best chance to succeed. All of my managers have done a great job of not just getting things done, but also aligning with what the engineers want.

When I started, we had thousands of customers; now it’s hundreds of thousands. That changes how you approach everything. A tiny performance tweak can add up to a massive improvement for our customers.

I think Gusto and my manager chain really ‘let me be myself,’ which lets me work at my maximum capabilities and leverage many of the non-purely engineering skills I have.

I’m still here because I get to solve hard problems every day. Payroll and HR might sound mundane, but the challenges are intriguing, and my work is profoundly impactful: people receive their paychecks and access healthcare because of what I do.
