Applied online and completed an online assessment. After passing the OA, I was invited to schedule the next round of interviews, coordinated by the recruiting team.

The process felt organized and communicative — I received a scheduling email with prep resources, including:

• An intro video about the interview process
• A video about the intern program
• A link to Rippling's official interview kit

The first scheduled interview is a 1-hour technical round with a Software Engineer II via CodePair (their coding interview platform).

Interviews are recorded for training and quality purposes, with the option to opt out. AI tool usage is not permitted during interviews, and candidates are told to check with the interviewer if they need to look anything up.

Overall, the pre-interview communication was clear and professional.
