Rippling

Lots of opportunity to learn how a company grows, take ownership, and translate work into results. Room to grow in your career quickly. Pay is pretty good. Good exposure to former founders if you're looking to do that in the future.

Unrealistic deadlines cause quality to take a backseat in lieu of shipping fast. Some people have a pessimistic attitude and think the company is toxic, and this sentiment spreads. The bureaucracy and politics of a fast-growing company can be annoying. Managers will take credit for things, micromanage, and don't know how to push back on execs or manage up. This could be solved by learning how to manage up yourself.

Learn how to push back on exec when things aren't realistic, or if exec has some blind spots. Not everything they want is the word of God — good managers know when to protect their team from upward pressure, and when to accept it.
