Pros
Great compensation and equity incentives for employees. The product has potential.
Cons
It is a well known fact that empathy is not the current CEO's strong suit. In fact, for those of us in leadership, we were told that his lack of empathy is supposedly his "superpower." (red flag) He also believes that trust has to be earned, which means every employee starts with zero trust (bigger red flag). The title of my review is in earnest - gone are the days where grinding for the sake of looking busy brought accolades and recognition. In a post-pandemic world, people have lives to lead and families to take care of. Rippling does not support either; the fact that they do not provide paid family leave for an employee if they have a child within their first year of employment is borderline barbaric in today's workplace culture. In a hustle culture like this one, burnout is inevitable and job security is never guaranteed. My bottomline advice: Don't drink the Kool-Aid.
