Pros

- Good pay is the only thing i think of

Cons

Monolithic repo with no standard engineering practices. All 500+ engineers work on the same monolith and the company just cares about new features. There are multiple incidents everyday and the number will only grow with the bad engineering practices at play. The middle management throws software engineers under the bus when there are any incidents. Overall a bad place if you value your mental peace or if you want to grow as an engineer.

Pros

- Culture encourages extreme ownership - Company has very specific preferences around how to effectively work and collaborate which is widely emphasized. This type of clarity is mostly refreshing. - The continued investment and execution (now with AI) is inspiring. - Great place to be if you want to be push the boundary of what is possible. Feels like Rippling is uniquely positioned for this moment with the right platform and leadership to win.

Cons

- The number of products can be overwhelming although many teams are specialized. - Things break and customers have issues due to huge variation in use cases and the speed of innovation. Can cause a lot of distractions.
