Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn how a company grows, take ownership, and translate work into results; room to grow in your career quickly; pay is pretty good; good exposure to former founders if you're looking to do that in the future

Cons

Unrealistic deadlines cause quality to take a backseat in lieu of shipping fast; some people have a pessimistic attitude and think the company is toxic (sentiment spreads); the bureaucracy and politics of a fast-growing company is annoying; managers will take credit for things, micromanage, and don't know how to push back on execs or manage-up; this could be solved by learning how to manage-up yourself.

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
