Pros

Ripple is a relatively small IT company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with a few support people in other states. They're a results-only work environment company, meaning that things like start time, sick days, and hours worked aren't tracked. Instead, employees are expected to manage themselves and work with others on their team to accomplish their work on-time. This is great for people who are self-starters and can prioritize tasks without a ton of instruction. It allows for an amazing work-life balance, so long as you're the kind of person who doesn't require an assigned taskmaster in order to do your job.

Cons

The ROWE experience can be a bit of a shock to people who are used to a corporate environment where they have clear goals and projects laid out for them. Those who aren't suited for a results-only company won't last long at Ripple. I'd also say that communication between employees and teams could be improved a bit, as it could be anywhere, but there's no real cons to being a Rippler.

Pros

Work from home, smart coworkers, modern software.

Cons

Unlimited PTO should be a pro, but it’s a con. The turnover here is so high that you are constantly having more and more work piled on you with no hope in sight of reprieve. Taking a day off means working 2-3 to make up for it. You work from home, which is great, except you will work much longer than you anticipate to daily, unpaid. Pay is really low for the skills you bring and turnover is very high. In the multiple years I’ve worked here, I have seen dozens come and go. Even the people you think are well-liked get fired suddenly and the reasoning given is so vague and unhelpful. We all live in fear of being the next one who is tossed like trash. We pretend we’re happy and believe in the company to keep our jobs.
