Pros

Fairly good pay, remote work flexibility

Cons

Terrible management, lots of micromanaging. At the same time, managers are brand new and have no authority/willingness to get their hands dirty and solve problems for their team. There are HUGE communication issues that have been raised for years with no solution. Every time you bring up a systemic issue with managers, they have no idea what to do about it other than bring it to their manager. Then we hear nothing. Career growth is abysmal. We've been told for almost 2 years that "career progression" documentation was coming and it never does. There are very unfair (possibly illegal) hiring and promotion practices that rely strongly on favoritism. No work life balance and job descriptions are not accurate. People are hired as EDI Analysts and then do a customer service role nearly full time. It's very strange to hire people to do one job and then ask them to do something entirely different. Most people are doing the work of 3 different jobs and are expected to work insane overtime.

Pros

High-caliber team, product managers who listen to customer feedback, amazing leadership, compelling work. Great fit for accountants who want to interact with customers in a scalable function instead of living in spreadsheets and dealing with dated technology and processes.

Cons

Expectations are high, but training and enablement set you up for success. "Make it happen" mentality required. The plane is definitely being built while it's in the air, so patience and proactive communication with the product team is essential, but things are constantly improved as a direct result of clear, constructive, public feedback.

Pros

Really good product for small businesses.

Cons

Executive leadership at Rippling can come across as unprofessional at times. Training sessions often feel disorganized, and there seems to be a tendency to prioritize the speed of releasing new products and features over ensuring they’re fully mature. While change is expected at a fast-growing company, the frequency of major strategic shifts—such as pricing model changes occurring week after week—can make it feel like decisions aren’t always thoroughly vetted before being rolled out. From an employee’s perspective, that can create unnecessary confusion and make it difficult to confidently communicate the company’s strategy to customers.
