Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience - India
Process
I had an initial call with the recruiter. The call went well, and another call with the CTO was promptly set up. That call also went well, but then the process started getting screwed up.
I was asked to take a call at 10:30 PM my time. I waited for the interviewer for eight minutes, but they did not show up. I followed up with the recruiter, who said the interviewer had some connectivity issues.
Following up again, the same interviewer did not show up, and I dropped off around 10:38 PM. The recruiter called me after I pinged him and said the interviewer was online now. I chose to drop off and revoke my candidature.
It seems Rippling is not serious about its interviewing process and definitely does not understand the concept of people taking late-night interviews.
