Rippling Work Experiences
3.0
Good Pay, Everything Else Meh
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Pros: Only one pro: good pay.
Cons: Other than pay, everything else.
3.0
Decent Perks, High Stress
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
July 3, 2025
Pros: Nice PTO
Competent coworkers
Decent free food
Cons: Intense, stressful, easy to get fired. Focus on speed, not quality, but you still have to manage quality. Not much engineering learning since most infra stuff is abstracted away. Mostly biz logic if on a product team.
5.0
Product ownership in a fast-moving company!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
June 7, 2024
Pros: - High product impact and ownership
- High degree of autonomy
- Great collaborative work environment
- Modern tech stack and tooling
- Opportunities for rapid career growth
Cons: At times the roadmap can change unexpectedly based on leadership decisions or delays discovered while building features, but I would not say to an unreasonable degree. Rippling is building a very ambitious product quickly, and that means teams need to be resilient and quick to respond to new challenges.
