Developer team culture gradually Amazonized - Software Engineer Ripple Employee Review

intelligent, low ego engineers & product team

Company feels really slow for its size - too much beauracracy and process

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.

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.
