Pros

* Impact - Company allows you to really take ownership and control on things and allow you to work on things that directly make an impact to the success of the company * Fast paced - This could be a pro or a con depending on your background but if you love a fast paced environment that has a collective culture of hustle than this is the place for you. A mid sized company with small pods built like start ups. - If you are used to relaxing casual work I would say be prepared to be challenged and to be surrounded by people with intimidating yet inspiring drive to make some really amazing stuff. * Company Growth - Ton of long term potential and everyone truly believes in the company * Personal Growth - A lot of opportunity for upward growth as new projects roll out

Cons

* WLB - Hours can be long especially during crunch -The company has the hustle culture so working late is not uncommon across the teams. Management is very understanding of the burnout so there is a ton of support but you have to be someone that doesn't default to working all day since its very easy to do that. Part of the WLB is on the employee themselves to keep those boundaries. * Requirements - With a fast paced environment it can be frustrating to work on projects that are in the beginning stages where work is expected to be started but project requirements are still being developed - This is also a pro in the sense that this company allows engineers to really have an opportunity to help form and understand business requirements. There is not a strict separation between product and engineering (this could be a con if you like the separation)

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

I have only been at Rippling for a month at this point, but so far so good! The onboarding and training are top tier. Definitely the best and most in depth training I have gotten at a company. My manager is great and was also an IC at Rippling for a couple years before moving into management which I really like because they understand what it is like to be an account manager here. There seems to be a lot of opportunity for career growth here. I am definitely excited to be here!

Cons

Not really a con but you HAVE to be self sufficient here. People are willing to help but they are also very busy so it might be a while before you get a response to a question. It was an adjustment at first but I think it makes you a better employee. If you need hand holding probably not the job for you. I don't really have any true cons yet, but ask me again in 6 months lol.
