Spoke to a recruiter. Then hiring manager; typical intro and background questions. We decided I wasn't a good fit for the role, given the subject matter and platform nature. Oh well....
Straightforward process - intro call with recruiter, 2 interviews with product managers on the team followed by a case study presentation and technical interview. Recruiter feedback throughout the process which was great!
They're probably using interviews for free work. Not the best. Was given a case to complete with very little information but was asked very specific information on legal considerations of a product. Felt very much like a "how do we actually do this" kind of thing. Waste of 1 hour.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling in Sep 2025
Interview
Interview process was about 6 rounds spanning from hiring manager to the engineering manager. It was well thought out process and the HR helped navigate each step of the process. All interviewers were helpful and had a delight chatting with them.
