Pros

Ripple Labs has the opportunity to improve financial settlement worldwide. The leadership is committed to achieving this goal, not as a disruptive startup, but as a constructive partner in the financial industry. The development team is passionate about open source software. Management is continually exploring new benefit opportunities for employees. The office in downtown San Francisco is top notch.

Cons

The company is growing at an incredible rate, but there is still need for more developers.

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.
