Pros

-$ is pretty good -product might have some traction with potential -other departments than recruiting seem to have a better experience from my interactions with other employees/friends that work here

Cons

If I could give negative stars I would. Management and cross collaboration is a nightmare. I have never worked in a place where my colleagues and I go to work in FEAR daily. The fear stems from an inability to voice any feedback without your job being in danger. Each video call (which you are required to do with candidates, which makes no sense because they are working at other jobs...) is monitored and recorded. There is a script you are required to stick to and it isn't effective. Yet you can't stray from it or else you will get negative feedback. The metrics expectation is quantity > quality. Working with clients/hiring managers is a terrifying experience- they don't understand how recruiting works and blacklist certain companies based on the poor performance of a single candidate. That is just one example... I do not know anyone that I worked with out of dozens on my team that didn't loathe working there. We just knew that we did not have much of a choice in this recruiting job market. They rely on Excel for everything too, which seems super inefficient to me in this day and age... -no health insurance or benefits... -no way to move up, seems like sourcers there just basically stay stagnant in that role -I talked to people on maternity leave that were actually genuinely scared they would lose their job... that's how bad it is -CEO.... well look him up. There's not a lot to like.

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.
