Rippling Work Experiences
1.0
The worst experience ever
Software Engineer • Former Employee
December 26, 2024
Pros: A lot of smart people coming from well-known names in tech. A lot of engineering to be done.
Cons: Software engineers are akin to assembly line workers here. You'd better deliver something in your 9 AM-10 PM shift every single day or you'll quickly find yourself in trouble.
You will have little to no ownership over your work unless you are in an inner circle.
There is no sense of team and no sense of belonging.
This is not a place where careers are built or sustained.
Most companies at least make an effort to live their stated values, but at Rippling, the whole values thing is a complete sham.

Pros: - Great money
- Good work
Cons: - poor WLB
- nothing as such, work is the same as a startup, so if you are okay then it should not be an issue
