Pros: 1. You are well-rewarded for solving problems independently, without pressure or micromanagement from leads. 2. Senior leadership, including engineering managers, actively engages with technology and collaborates directly with the team during incidents. 3. You have the opportunity to drive numerous processes within the team to enhance performance. 4. As an individual contributor, you get to lead and take ownership of your team. 5. Rippling is an employee-centric company, continually implementing changes to boost overall productivity and support career development.

Cons: 1. In recent years, it has been challenging to retain employees with extensive domain knowledge. 2. The company culture varies by team and organization. Some have a strong culture, while others are working to improve it to better retain employees.

Pros: Very smart and helpful people, great product-market fit, and very transparent management.

Cons: Lots of late-night meetings.

Pros: Great technical challenges: building unified systems across HR/IT/payroll domains with complex data relationships. The product surface area is very interesting: you're working on everything from identity management to compliance reporting to benefits administration, all within one platform. Strong engineering autonomy with minimal bureaucracy. Team owns services end-to-end. Rapid growth means constantly evolving architecture and scaling problems to solve. Excellent engineering talent and good collaboration across teams. Clear career progression paths. Competitive compensation and equity upside.

Cons: The fast pace means some technical debt accumulation. On-call can be demanding, given the critical nature of HRIS/Payroll systems. We experience frequent change as we scale quickly.
