I usually don’t write reviews after phone screens, but the process here was horrible. I have never been restricted to a coding language during the interview process at any company. However, Gusto made me choose between Ruby, Python, or JavaScript. None of which I am proficient in. Question was super easy however couldn’t get more than the first test to pass because I couldn’t get my syntax correct. I’m definitely not a bad programmer, I’ve interviewed at Unicorns and big tech companies, and received offers from some. Taking into account my performance at other company interviews, Gusto is not using the correct evaluation method for their software engineer candidates. They are looking for language proficiency NOT cs fundamentals proficiency. Would not recommend wasting time doing an interview (even for practice) unless you are proficient in one of the three languages stated above

I started with two rounds of phone screens, one hour each. Then went on-site for a day of interviews, 3 technical and one behavioral. Overall, went pretty smoothly! Everyone was polite and accommodating.
