Rippling Work Experiences

Learned A Lot, Too Much Politics
Software Engineer • Current Employee

November 6, 2022
Pros: Ownership of work. Too much you can learn from.
Cons: No work-life balance. Now, there seems to be too much politics.
1.0
Probably one of the worst companies to join as a software engineer
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
January 2, 2023
Pros: Good pay is the only thing I think of.
Cons: Monolithic repo with no standard engineering practices. All 500+ engineers work on the same monolith, and the company just cares about new features. There are multiple incidents every day, and the number will only grow with the bad engineering practices at play. The middle management throws software engineers under the bus when there are any incidents. Overall, a bad place if you value your mental peace or if you want to grow as an engineer.
