Rippling reviews

Before I get into the negatives, I want to let everyone know that I worked with HR, and they try their hardest to make the company look good. They do this by "encouraging" people to post positive remarks on LinkedIn and to leave a good review on Glassdoor right after being hired. So please take all the positive reviews with a huge grain of salt. Here are the cons that I experienced: -The product is actually not as great as some people say, the customers are not happy with the service that they are paying for. -There is micromanagement in everything, you will spend more time filling out useless spreadsheets with every single action that you did for the day/week, than doing the job itself. -Your manager might want to see your 1:1 slack messages by forcing you to CC them in every conversation -Most of the work is boring and won't challenge a lot of the people -Your manager might force you to work outside of the hours you are comfortable working in -Your manager could penalize you if you don't indicate your lunch brakes on your calendar, your slack status, and many other places -There is no sense of teamwork, a lot of the times people feel bothered when you ask them for help with a project. This becomes an issue with a lot of the cross-functional projects -People who work hard are not rewarded at all, while people who do the least actually get promoted -The benefits are horrible, the insurance that I had did not cover anything, and basically made me question why I'm even paying for medical benefits -A lot of the managers are inexperienced and will not offer constructive feedback. Instead, they might degrade you and make you feel like you are walking on eggshells. -If you notice discrimination and call it out, you might get fired (believe me, I am not making this up). -During some team meetings, the CEO might proudly talk about how he fired someone -Everyone is just very cold and fake, most of your team members could be people that you are not happy to work with. -If you go on vacation, it is very likely that no one on your team will cover for you. When your projects will inevitably be delayed, YOU are going to be the one that will get all the blame. -There is absolutely no written trainings/SOP for most roles, and when you do something wrong due to the lack of training, YOU will be blamed for it. -A lot of people are extremely cutthroat, which is something that runs in the veins of the company. -Lastly, you will have no work/life balance. A lot of people at rippling think that working 12+ hours a day and weekends/holidays is normal, and will expect the same from you. Some people eat their lunch/dinner while working, and get confused about why that is wrong.
