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.
