Pros

Business outlook is strong, well established in the space. Executive leadership is strategic.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. But it does depend on your team. The marketing and communication org is lead by fear. Optics are often more important than quality of work. The timelines are aggressive but everything is so much harder to complete because they’ve indexed on execution over process. Don’t love that they donated to Trump’s ballroom either. The RTO is all about visibility and not collaboration despite their claims.

Pros

Good benefits keep people around, many of the folks below the useless L2 middle management layer (though neutered) are very smart and driven, often more qualified than their executive counterparts.

Cons

Nepotism is causing Ripple to fumble the biggest bag in history. The “friends of Brad” or “FOBs” as they’re referred to by the general employee population, need to go, and be replaced with competent subject matter experts in their respective fields. Everybody has the power to say no, nobody has the power to say yes. You will likely have more experience in your field than your executive business leader.
