Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had previously interviewed with Rippling less than a year ago and passed their technical assessment. Although I decided not to move forward in the process at the time, I informed my recruiter. She suggested I restart the process since it had been a while, which I agreed to.

The problem is, I was given the same exact technical question as the first time. I told my interviewer this. After finishing the interview, I was told I had to schedule a second technical. Again, I agreed.

I am quite positive I performed well on the second technical, as I answered all questions and got along well with the interviewer. The next day, however, I received a rejection email stating that they had moved on with candidates who were a better match for the job.

Another review mentioned this, but with an influx of candidates and limited roles, it seems they simply put as many people through the process carelessly, playing a numbers game. Why did I need to complete the exact same technical exercise that I had already been given, only to then be required to follow up with a second technical? No feedback was provided, making it a waste of my time.

I believe this reflects directly on Rippling's culture. I would not recommend interviewing, let alone working for, a business with such morally questionable tactics.

Fast forward to the present.
