Pros

Smart and sound work colleagues Decent pay

Cons

- Honestly one of the worst places I have ever worked. Everyone is burned out and morale is extremely low. It's an exhausting place to work - Minimum benefits package compared to other tech companies -Sales vs CX facing teams culture -Not a 9-5 like they make you think - very common to put in 10+ hour days & no recognition for it -Customers are extremely demanding and rude - treat you like you are their slave. Unrealistic expectations set by sales regarding SLA's which feeds into the toxic attitude of a lot of customers. Everything is urgent when it's not! - Escalations are the norm because of the above -Unrealistic workload - everyone is at capacity 100% of the time and more work keeps getting added because operating on skeletal staff. Everyone is just in survival mode - The product is still very US based, lots of product limitations for EU market and Sales overpromising what is not true -Very little mentoring or coaching from Managers and Team Leads (not their fault as they also are at capacity leaving them little or no time to do this) - Very little career progression - No culture of after work socialising or events because Rippling is so frugal and everyone is just burned out or still working long hours

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

Really depends what team you're on but I like the team I'm on and being in a highly competitive environment. Great place to work if you're early in your sales career.

Cons

Not matching our 401K drives me nuts so definitely not going to be here for the long term. Turnover rate is high on other teams
