Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I got ghosted. :(
I applied and finished the OA. After that, HR contacted me, and we set up the first technical interview. During the interview, I struggled a little but eventually solved the problem. I sent a thank-you letter and asked for feedback. But, no response.
A friend of mine worked at Ripple during the summer. He told me about the projects he worked on, and I thought it would be nice to work at Ripple.
Please don't ghost. Just a simple thank you and "you didn't get the offer" might have been kinder.
Sincerely, Just a regular new grad software engineer.

Plain and simpleSenior Software Architect • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 21, 2021Pros: It seems like a cool place to work, on paper, until you try to actually do so.Cons: A toxic work environment. Incompetent bullies are promoted over hard-working innovators, every time, crushing morale. Employees that raise their voices over these concerns are shown the door. Turnover is very high.
- 5.0Great Culture, Uncharted TerritorySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMay 19, 2020Pros: Ripple has a great company culture that values people not just on their technical skills, but on their ability to work as a team. There's a ton of personal initiative and ownership that everyone brings to the table.Cons: We're working in uncharted territory, so things can feel a bit confusing or disorganized as young teams are maturing and the industry landscape changes out from under us.
- 3.0Pay makes up for everything elseSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 23, 2025Pros: Small startup without product-market fit, cosplaying a big company. This means good compensation and benefits.Cons: Ripple has fewer than 1,000 employees, but the slow processes and bureaucracy make it feel a lot bigger. Hiring many FAANG employees with no experience in the startup world yielded activity without much benefit.
