Desventajas
Rippling does a good job of keeping their public rating above 3 by spamming 5 star propaganda about how “it’s not for everyone, we work hard play hard”. I believed it when interviewing, and it’s why I joined. But if you are considering Rippling and reading this, I sincerely urge you to consider what that really means between the lines. My mental health is really suffering. I’m anxious all the time and wake in the night. There is no accountability or clear expectations set but no amount of work effort or hours in is ever enough. Accountability for decisions is non-existent, made especially so with the latest C Suite departures (I would guess because of how taxing mentally it must be). There is a pervasive culture of fear driven by blame and throwing other teams under the bus. The only feedback that matters is what comes from Parker and so weeks or months of work may be wiped in an instant based on off the cuff feedback. Anyone along the way who helped get to the unfavored direction is immediately blamed and expected to fix with near instant turnaround. The US/India daytime overlap, which is really product/eng team overlap is upside down. Which results in 2am meetings for India, or 10pm meetings for USA. This promotes further division and almost completely eliminates any sense of team building or dialogue. Managers are expected to be ICs. Often stepping in as Product Managers as well which creates tremendous conflicts with real IC ownership. Not to mention completely unsustainable to do two jobs. It’s a burnout factory. Unapologetically so. With the worst benefits of any company I’ve ever been at and it’s an HR company! Please consider what you’re getting into. I regret it so much. Thankful for a job, so sad it has to be here.
