United StatesPosted Feb 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started with a conversation with the hiring manager, and by that point I felt genuinely excited about the company.

They asked a lot of questions about my work history, which made it clear they cared about how I’d done things before.

The next step was a technical phone screen, and it used a weirdly hard LeetCode-style problem. I struggled to connect it to the actual day-to-day engineering work I expected to do at Gusto.

I didn’t receive an offer, and my main reflection was that the technical choice didn’t feel aligned with what the role seemed to be about, at least from my perspective.
