I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling in Sep 2025
Interview
Interview process was about 6 rounds spanning from hiring manager to the engineering manager. It was well thought out process and the HR helped navigate each step of the process. All interviewers were helpful and had a delight chatting with them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk us through a time when things didn't go according to the plan and how did you manage that?
They're probably using interviews for free work. Not the best. Was given a case to complete with very little information but was asked very specific information on legal considerations of a product. Felt very much like a "how do we actually do this" kind of thing. Waste of 1 hour.
Recruiting screen and then hiring manager. Unsure of what the steps are after that as that is as far as things got. Recruiter was easy to work with and talk to, hiring manager was not as conversational. Seems like the culture changes a lot from team to team

Question 1
They went literally line by line down the resume and asked me to talk about each thing
