Pros

Small startup without product market fit cosplaying a big company. This means good comp and benefits.

Cons

Ripple is less than 1,000 employees, but the slow processes and bureaucracy makes it feel a lot bigger. Hired a lot of FAANG employees with no experience in the start up world yielded activity without much benefit.

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.
