Rippling reviews

Having spent over three years at the company, I would strongly encourage candidates—especially early-career sales reps who are hoping to learn strong SaaS sales fundamentals—to carefully evaluate the SSB team before accepting an offer. One of the biggest challenges I experienced was the overall leadership structure within the team. In my view, many leaders were promoted quickly during periods of rapid growth and did not always have the level of experience, coaching ability, or communication skills typically seen in established SaaS organizations. As a result, mentorship and structured development for sales reps could be inconsistent. Communication across the team was also difficult at times. Many internal meetings were conducted primarily in Hindi, which created challenges for employees who were not fluent in the language. This often made it harder for everyone to participate equally in team discussions or stay aligned on key topics. The ramp expectations were extremely aggressive, and the organization operates with a very high-pressure “perform immediately” mindset. During my tenure, a large percentage of new hires did not remain with the company beyond their first several months. Employees who relocated for the role sometimes found themselves in a difficult position if they were unable to reach full quota very quickly. Lead allocation and performance outcomes were another common concern among team members. Based on what I observed, lead distribution across teams did not always appear balanced. Some teams received a significantly larger share of inbound opportunities, which naturally made quota attainment much easier compared to others. This created noticeable performance disparities between teams. Commission administration was also a recurring frustration. Payments were occasionally delayed or required repeated follow-ups with RevOps to resolve discrepancies, which created uncertainty around compensation. The company often describes itself as a “high-performance sports team,” and that philosophy translates into an extremely demanding work culture. Long hours and constant pressure are the norm, and many employees felt that taking advantage of the “unlimited PTO” policy was difficult during active sales cycles. Overall, the company may be a fit for individuals who thrive in very intense, high-pressure environments with aggressive performance expectations. However, candidates who are looking for structured sales development, consistent coaching, transparent processes, and a more sustainable work culture should carefully evaluate whether this specific team is the right environment for them.
