Rippling

My manager is very kind, understanding, and hands-off. They let me take responsibility and drive things.

The greater team is also great.

Company financials and goals are shared internally every month, which makes it very clear how the company is doing.

There's a positive outlook for growth.

Compensation is solid.

Perhaps the stock will be worthless, but that's just how startups go. For Software Engineering: Some internal things just aren't that mature, but it's not a huge deal and it's always getting better.

From what I've experienced, upper management is both very competent at what they do and very candid about what they need from everyone in order to make this company work.

I think it's great as is.
