Process
Phone screen with recruiter to discuss background.
Technical JavaScript interview: 1.5 hours long.
The technical JS interview was much more detailed than I expected, and the challenges were pretty tough. I ended up passing to the hiring manager round after that, but dropped out of the process since I got a weird vibe from the team. All frontend is based in the India time zone, and I have a feeling the work-life balance is pretty bad.

Rippling Work Experiences
- 5.0If you like scale-ups, this is a great placeSoftware Engineering Lead • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaNovember 13, 2023Pros: You can achieve disproportionate impact due to the growth stage. Great hiring bar. Just look at the LinkedIn profiles of our current and past employees. Great India story: India dev center is as old as Rippling, with lot of ownership and strong charters in India.Cons: The complexity is in the business domain and less in the core engineering/large-scale engineering. It's in the scale-up mode. So the old patterns of operation are actually making us slower. Very sparse PMs.
- 4.0Great product, inspiring vision, still in the building phaseStaff Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaJune 18, 2024Pros: Important scaling challenges to solve as the company moves upmarket and onboards true enterprise-scale customers. New and exciting products still getting built – the compound product vision keeps getting bigger and bigger. Shipping is rewarded.Cons: Okayish tech stack if that's something you care about. For a product-focused engineer, it really doesn't matter. Mostly driven from the US location since most of the customers are there. Multiple attempts at building engineering leadership at the India location are still a work in progress.
- 4.0Impactful work, low work-life balanceSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaApril 5, 2023Pros: Transparent management. Impactful work. High ownership.Cons: Low work-life balance. Long work hours.
