J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Gusto (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
Was really impressed with the entire recruiting experience with Gusto. The entire team (recruiters especially) was responsive and proactive. I applied for the product designer position, starting off w/ a recruiter phone call, which was a 45-min chat with the design lead about your projects. I was then invited to a first round 2-hr onsite interview (1hr portfolio breakdown, 1hr whiteboard challenge).
Portfolio presentation was mostly designers really digging into my design decisions. Whiteboard challenge was also really fun to collab with 1 other designer. Overall, I left with a positive impression about Gusto and the team they are trying to build. Got the bad news 3-4 days later that I didn't make it to 2nd round...bummer!

Pretty standard designer hiring process, with a few extras. Initial chat with HM, an initial portfolio review, followed by a core interview loop with the standard PM interview, another portfolio review, etc.

Question 1
I don't remember specific questions they asked, but I remember they were very specific on how the candidate aligns with their values. So, I definitely spent time crafting examples and responses that resonated well with their core values.

Basic design interview with a manager screen (i believe this included a case study presentation), a portfolio presentation and cross-functional chats. Have at least two 40 minute presentations ready. Notably, there was no design challenge.
Everything was good. Asked the recruiter to pass on the feedback after the portfolio review but I was told that they couldn't share that. I find it hilarious that a company that's a people platform and HR solutions can't give something back to the candidate after a review. This is pretty basic and can prove to be valuable to a candidate in the market. You can't sell HR solutions if you don't think about everyone's experience.
