-Terrible work life balance. I often was working nights and weekends. Q4 is so stressful it created health issues for me. There are expectations to work over holiday breaks. I earned a bonus during this time but was told I conveniently didn't meet the threshold after I had quit Rippling.
-Leadership doesn’t care about their ICs at all. Responding to slack messages at 2AM is seen as honorable and encouraged. Their “don’t care” attitude is very obvious to all who work for them.
-I interviewed with a completely different team (except 1 person) than who I was actually going to be working with. I was told I was interviewing for a different position the whole time, then I was placed in a position I didn’t want after I had turned down other options. I also showed up and had a completely different manager on my first day, whom I had never met.
-Rippling switched health insurance mid year. This left my son seemingly without coverage for at least 3 doctors appts, no idea how long it actually was. You have to message a PUBLIC slack channel to ask for insurance help in which you are told to “call blue cross”. I spent 3 hours on the phone trying to get my bills paid.
-high turnover
-lack of integrity - moving targets.
-processes constantly changing at break neck speed, no one knows the true processes.
-employees are not trained on certain product areas but then are thrown into calls or projects where they are supposed to be the subject matter expert.
-Definitely the least integrity I’ve experienced from a sales team. This leads to implementation taking angry customers almost daily. This is a support role, not project management.
-No acknowledgement for good work
-High expectations, little reward.
-PTO is almost not an option because you have weekly deadlines, and management makes it difficult for you to go on PTO purposefully by not helping you prep for out of office. So you have to awkwardly ask your colleagues for help or just opt out of PTO.
