Rippling

• Impact

• The company allows you to really take ownership and control, and it allows you to work on things that directly make an impact on the success of the company.

• Fast paced

• This could be a pro or a con depending on your background, but if you love a fast-paced environment with a collective culture of hustle, then this is the place for you. It's a mid-sized company with small pods built like startups.
• If you are used to relaxing, casual work, I would say be prepared to be challenged and to be surrounded by people with an intimidating yet inspiring drive to make some really amazing stuff.

• Company Growth

• There's a ton of long-term potential, and everyone truly believes in the company.

• Personal Growth

• There's a lot of opportunity for upward growth as new projects roll out.

Work-Life Balance

• Hours can be long, especially during crunch.
• The company has a hustle culture, so working late is not uncommon across the teams. Management is very understanding of burnout, so there is a ton of support. However, you have to be someone that doesn't default to working all day, since it's very easy to do that. Part of the work-life balance is on the employee themselves to keep those boundaries.

Requirements

• With a fast-paced environment, it can be frustrating to work on projects in the beginning stages where work is expected to be started, but project requirements are still being developed.
• This is also a pro in the sense that this company allows engineers to really have an opportunity to help form and understand business requirements. There is not a strict separation between product and engineering (this could be a con if you like that separation).

Spend more time allowing for the design and development of long-term engineering solutions, or dedicate more time to tech debt after a grind.
