I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling
Interview
The first step was a match talk where they asked about why I was interested in the job, what my salary expectations were and described the next steps.
After the match talk I was sent a take home assignment to complete that was mostly time management and project management type questions.
This was followed by an interview with the team manager.
That was followed by a peer interview and another manager interview.
The final step was a match talk about how the interviews had gone and to ask any lingering questions before they made the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard "describe a time" questions to give examples of challenges, successes etc.
Interview with recruiter
Interview with hiring manager
Assignment that you are given 48 hours to turn in but only 4 hours to complete
That’s as far as I went.
Luckily I had just accepted another offer but. I didn’t get a feel from the process that there is an appropriate work/life balance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One of the MANY:
A campaign sends a group of leads an email once every other day for 3 days. Each email has a 28% reply rate. A lead cannot reply to an email after the next one in the campaign is sent (e.g. someone cannot reply to Email 1 after Email 2 has been sent). And if a lead does reply to an email, they are taken out of the campaign and stop getting messages. What is the probability that a lead will not reply to any email? What is the probability the lead will reply to either the second email or the third email?
I applied online. I interviewed at Rippling in Dec 2021
Interview
3 rounds. One system design, one coding and one behavioral. The interviewers were friendly. But I felt the System Design interviewer was very rigid in what he wants and was not ready to listen to alternatives and my design proposal was extremely similar to what a real world tool would do. He ended up completely confusing me and leaving me off track. The most hilarious part was the last part of the interview where I ask him how he collaborates with EMs in designs like this and his response is "The EMs leave the design to me!".
Interviewing involves a lot luck at the end of the day. You need to show the best self, you need to get lucky with the interviewers and several other factors.
Having said all this, I enjoyed this interview and must say that my experience is positive.
