I don't think they have any real roles and seem super comfortable with just wasting everyone's time including their engineers' who seem exhausted for their process.
I applied through a referral and actually had quite a bit of overlap. I got a totally disinterested panel interviewer who didn't even seem interested in interviewing. I had to pry the question out of him and he pasted the question incorrectly and started a discussion about rounding without really knowing why we needed to talk about it. I did get all the test cases correct however.
Think I dodged a bullet here.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Rippling
Interview
Standard process with a recruiter screen, tech round, system design etc. The person taking the tech screen couldn't listen for a second. I could very clear tell that they were switching between 'chatting' internally and barely listening to whats happening in the interview, resulting in me having to repeat myself a couple of times throughout the interview. I should have honestly ended it half way through. one of the worst displays of professionalism.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
the usual questions for the recruiter screen and you can easily look online for what they give the screen rounds.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
They follow very similar process as other companies does. Starts with quick recruiter screening call and then 1 hour Coding call. If all good then 1 hour system design and then hiring manager call.
I've heard about their culture from other professionals in SF but never have I ever encountered such unprofessional people. From recruiters to hiring manager, their behavior truly justifies their culture.
