Pros

Incredibly talented, motivated people: The engineering team is packed with former CTOs and founders. In the past two years, the arrival of a new CTO and several new VPEs and principal engineers have significantly raised the caliber of the engineering team. Many of the best engineers I've worked with in my career are now at Rippling. Growth trajectory: The company's financial growth is remarkable right now, and the ambitious product vision supports continued growth. New product teams and opportunities are frequently popping up internally. Executive leadership: Parker is the best CEO I've ever worked for. He is a product visionary who can anticipate the competitive landscape several steps ahead. Yet he can also dive into technical details with engineers.

Cons

Growing pains: "Hypergrowth" also means growing pains. Some engineering teams struggle with tech debt and the operational burdens that come with it. Company processes, such as performance review cycles, are still being iterated on, and change with each new cycle. Work-life balance requires planning: Work-life balance is possible but requires being efficient and setting boundaries with your team. Don't expect a rest-and-vest situation; Rippling operates more like an early-stage startup. RTO: Parker strongly supports a 3 day/week RTO policy if you live near an office, which may not suit you.

Pros

- Extremely smart people. This is the best part; every employee has an interesting story and wants to build something special at Rippling. If you know that one team is building a new product, or say they will improve a feature, you can be sure, they will be some meaningful progress. The people are the key to the success to Rippling, everything else is consequence of having the right people. - A great business vision, well executed - Lot of opportunities to grow as an individual. Even more junior engineers would be given opportunities to work on large projects and take on more leadership.

Cons

- The pace is fast. Moving fast is part of the Rippling DNA and a competitive advantage, so this one is pretty much expected. Hint: you need to be great a prioritizing your work - the hiring bar is high, ask the recruiter how you can prepare and be ready to give you a chance. - Some growing pain that would find with a late-stage startup, some tech debt. They are some initiatives to address this but there is still a lot to do. So, if you want to help, this is also an opportunity to have an impact. - Benefits are probably a bit lower than some other tech companies.
