Pros

* Compensation is fairly competitive for the area. * Lots of autonomy in deciding the mandate of the team and the technologies to use. * The business outlook looks fairly positive, I believe in the thesis that if you own the employee data you can own a lot of the surrounding tools and push out point solutions. * No layoffs even in this market and none planned

Cons

* Lots of tech debt that needs to be cleaned up * The hiring bar could be better some folks are not at the level I would expect at this level of company. * You have to make your own work life balance trade-offs if you go with the flow you will find yourself burning out.

Pros

- Product Market Fit - Most clients in the SMB/MM range find Rippling to be a helpful platform - Most teams, managers, and colleagues are good people who are ready to help - Opportunities to progress your career

Cons

- It's intense and the fastest place I've ever worked at. Rippling won't help you manage your burn out so if you can't handle it, you likely won't last very long - Big brother like office attendance tracking - Benefits (no 401k match) and pay are average
