Rippling Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Not actually hiring, just wasting your time. They are building a tool to help with interviewing candidates, and you are a guinea pig for that. I completed their live coding interview and the interviewer scaled up the problem 3 times, and I answered all the questions, from the approach to implementation and time complexity. I followed up the next day, and they immediately sent me the copy-pasta email, saying: we regret to inform you that we have decided to move forward with other candidates who more closely match our current needs and requirements for this position.

I had previously interviewed with rippling less than a year ago and passed their technical, though I decided not to move forward in the process at the time. I tell my recruiter this, and she suggests I start over the process since it had been a while. That’s fine. Problem is, I had the same exact question the first time. I told my interviewer this. I finished the interview and was told I had to schedule a second technical. Fine. I’m pretty positive I do well on it too, answered all questions and got on well with the interviewer. The next day, I receive a rejection email that they had moved on with candidates with a better match for the job. Another review mentioned this, but since there are an influx of candidates with limited roles, they’ll just put as many people through the process carelessly to play the numbers game. Why did I need to do the exact same technical exercise that I had already been given, only to have to follow up with a second technical? No feedback was given, so it was a waste of time. I do believe that this reflects on Rippling’s culture directly. I wouldn’t recommend interviewing let alone working for a business with such morally questionable tactics. Fast forward to current,
