Pros

- Competitive pay - Collaborated with some bright individuals. That's pretty much it.

Cons

- Do yourself a favour and read all the newest Glassdoor reviews from 2024. People don't lie. Burnout is real at Rippling. Money won't buy your Mental and Physical Health. - Rippling is a workplace, where Business First, Always, not People. - No 401k/RRSP Matching Contribution, Average Benefits, No Work Culture, - Achieving work-life balance is impossible at Rippling, as constant work overloads leave no room for life balance. Job responsibilities surpass the outlined scope, resulting in overwork, overwhelm, and burnout. Be prepare to work at least 45 hours per week and above! - Prepare to absolutely exceed the responsibilities outlined in your job description. The ever-changing landscape of processes results in continuous additions to your workload. Whether due to monthly updates or team capacity constraints, expect to adapt to new tasks regularly. What you mastered last month may become obsolete with new processes introduced. This perpetual cycle of change may leave you feeling overwhelmed and undervalued. - Rippling's visually appealing website content masks the reality of its product's inadequate features for Global Markets. While the US product is complete, its Global counterpart remains underdeveloped. The company's rapid expansion into new markets prioritizes short-term gains over sustainable growth, neglecting basic payroll features globally. This shortsighted approach jeopardizes long-term success. Despite assurances from product and sales teams, clients are left disillusioned and often revert to their previous systems due to Rippling's failure to meet their basic global payroll needs, readily available in local national HRIS Payroll offerings. Rippling should ensure its product is at least 80% viable before venturing into new markets. - The Global Implementation Analyst teams receive minimal training for Global Markets, hindering their ability to support the Global Implementation Team effectively. This lack of training results in a deficiency in country-specific payroll knowledge and an inability to provide support for global payroll imports and tax differences. Upper management's failure to invest in proper team onboarding and training exacerbates this issue. - Global Product Engineers' lack of National Payroll Institute compliance knowledge results in the product lacking essential features and accurate calculations, disappointing clients. To address this, Rippling should hire more professionals with Payroll Compliance expertise to collaborate with Product Engineers. As, Product Managers with limited Global Payroll Knowledge develop Global Products lacking essential features, making Rippling less competitive against local HRIS competitors. Clients are frustrated and disappointed upon discovering the absence of promised product fundamentals. - Inadequate onboarding training leaves new Global Implementation hires ill-prepared to manage client onboarding. Rushed onboarding training and the pressure to implement clients within the second week of work force employees to juggle client management during the day and learning the system after work hours - Q4 annually heralds a tempest of stress, enveloping you in an avalanche of work, ceaseless sleeplessness, and soaring stress levels, all while gearing up to launch clients in January. Q4 in Rippling for all Implementation Teams is an insane period where you'll be pushed to your limits, wrestling with the most daunting workload of the entire year.

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

I have only been at Rippling for a month at this point, but so far so good! The onboarding and training are top tier. Definitely the best and most in depth training I have gotten at a company. My manager is great and was also an IC at Rippling for a couple years before moving into management which I really like because they understand what it is like to be an account manager here. There seems to be a lot of opportunity for career growth here. I am definitely excited to be here!

Cons

Not really a con but you HAVE to be self sufficient here. People are willing to help but they are also very busy so it might be a while before you get a response to a question. It was an adjustment at first but I think it makes you a better employee. If you need hand holding probably not the job for you. I don't really have any true cons yet, but ask me again in 6 months lol.
