I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Gusto (Denver, CO) in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview process was very positive. Throughout the experience, it felt like we were both doing our due diligence in trying to understand shared values, motivations, and future career aspirations. The recruiter was great to talk with, get to know and work with. They were very helpful in the process and candidly answered most, if not all, of my questions in detail.
Standard design interview prods, with a portfolio/ case study review at the end. Team was friendly, recruiter professional and communicative, and scheduling was convenient. I didn’t receive an offer or an explanation of why they passed, which was fine.
average difficulty process but the higher level leaders in the portfolio review session seemed disengaged and disinterested in seeing my work, asking few questions and only looking for visual wow factor
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk us through a project where you worked on a data-heavy product
Don't bother applying here. Their website says that they welcome people with all backgrounds and experience levels but who they actually hire is another story.
If you're not coming from a FAANG company or just graduated from the top 1% of colleges, they're just interviewing you to pat themselves on the back saying that they welcome all experience levels.
