I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Started by Design interview.
Inexperienced interviewer, didn't bother asking the right questions, very vague demands, asked about a problem unrelated to their core business, most likely have not experienced it ever, but somehow figured out the junior guy can ask staff questions? haha, run!
I think the Zenefits culture is still present, avoid!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
design news.google.com, that's it, that's the problem.
The interview process was too long, especially to be rejected and not receive feedback from the recruiter. Recruiters are reaching out again on LinkedIn and I won't interview there again just based off of the length and not having received feedback for that amount of time/effort.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling in Feb 2024
Interview
3 easy/medium DSA
1 behavioural
1 design
Overall the process is below average. Some interviewers seem to follow a very specific checklist which I found to be quite dull & some do not seem to know what they are doing/looking for.
To be fair, that is a problem I have seen in multiple places and isn't really unique here.
