Pros
- After working at late stage companies with endless internal politics and bureaucracy, Rippling is exactly what I wanted. No games, micromanaging, jockeying for power/credit (everyone’s too busy doing actual work) - I’ve never been more empowered to do my job as I see fit and take on as much responsibility as I can handle - Experienced, down-to-earth leadership who make themselves totally accessible. No EAs, you just go to their desks and talk to them - No a**holes or ego (CEO personally handles customer support tickets) - just a bunch of super talented, friendly people working like crazy to create a world-class product and company - The culture is easygoing, mature, and drama-free
Cons
- No “rest and vest” here! Everyone works exceptionally hard. If you’re looking for a 10-4 job, go elsewhere - They don’t have the next level perks you get at bigger companies (although there’s still unlimited vacation, catered lunch, etc) - Lack of established processes - you have to create them as you go to get stuff done - Extremely frugal. Undoubtedly a good thing for the company overall, but you’ll be expected to make do with fewer resources than you need
