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 team, business outlook, and benefits.

Cons: Tons of work, average work-life balance.

Pros: Low bureaucracy. You want to get something done, you can do it. Great business ideas and direction. Parker is really good at this. Collaborative environment - minimal "throw over the wall" crap. Not a zero-sum "for me to win you must lose" type of place at all. Monthly all-hands with Parker are very open and candid. Really great.

Cons: Work-life balance can be bad, especially in India or in the office. Quality is a second-class citizen.
