Pros

- Competitive pay - Collaborated with some bright individuals. That's pretty much it.

Cons

- Do yourself a favour and read all the newest Glassdoor reviews from 2024. People don't lie. Burnout is real at Rippling. Money won't buy your Mental and Physical Health. - Rippling is a workplace, where Business First, Always, not People. - No 401k/RRSP Matching Contribution, Average Benefits, No Work Culture, - Achieving work-life balance is impossible at Rippling, as constant work overloads leave no room for life balance. Job responsibilities surpass the outlined scope, resulting in overwork, overwhelm, and burnout. Be prepare to work at least 45 hours per week and above! - Prepare to absolutely exceed the responsibilities outlined in your job description. The ever-changing landscape of processes results in continuous additions to your workload. Whether due to monthly updates or team capacity constraints, expect to adapt to new tasks regularly. What you mastered last month may become obsolete with new processes introduced. This perpetual cycle of change may leave you feeling overwhelmed and undervalued. - Rippling's visually appealing website content masks the reality of its product's inadequate features for Global Markets. While the US product is complete, its Global counterpart remains underdeveloped. The company's rapid expansion into new markets prioritizes short-term gains over sustainable growth, neglecting basic payroll features globally. This shortsighted approach jeopardizes long-term success. Despite assurances from product and sales teams, clients are left disillusioned and often revert to their previous systems due to Rippling's failure to meet their basic global payroll needs, readily available in local national HRIS Payroll offerings. Rippling should ensure its product is at least 80% viable before venturing into new markets. - The Global Implementation Analyst teams receive minimal training for Global Markets, hindering their ability to support the Global Implementation Team effectively. This lack of training results in a deficiency in country-specific payroll knowledge and an inability to provide support for global payroll imports and tax differences. Upper management's failure to invest in proper team onboarding and training exacerbates this issue. - Global Product Engineers' lack of National Payroll Institute compliance knowledge results in the product lacking essential features and accurate calculations, disappointing clients. To address this, Rippling should hire more professionals with Payroll Compliance expertise to collaborate with Product Engineers. As, Product Managers with limited Global Payroll Knowledge develop Global Products lacking essential features, making Rippling less competitive against local HRIS competitors. Clients are frustrated and disappointed upon discovering the absence of promised product fundamentals. - Inadequate onboarding training leaves new Global Implementation hires ill-prepared to manage client onboarding. Rushed onboarding training and the pressure to implement clients within the second week of work force employees to juggle client management during the day and learning the system after work hours - Q4 annually heralds a tempest of stress, enveloping you in an avalanche of work, ceaseless sleeplessness, and soaring stress levels, all while gearing up to launch clients in January. Q4 in Rippling for all Implementation Teams is an insane period where you'll be pushed to your limits, wrestling with the most daunting workload of the entire year.

Pros

Honestly, calling anything about Rippling a "pro" would be misleading and dishonest to future employees who deserve to know what they're walking into. If forced to find something positive, perhaps it's that working here will teach you exactly what red flags to watch for in toxic companies and give you a crystal-clear understanding of your own boundaries and self-worth. The experience might also strengthen your resume simply because surviving this environment demonstrates incredible resilience - though at what cost to your mental health and personal life? Some might argue that the fast-paced environment builds character, but in reality, it's designed to break you down systematically until you accept that being treated poorly is normal. The only real "pro" is that eventually, you'll leave and appreciate every other workplace that treats you with basic human decency.

Cons

Rippling represents everything wrong with modern corporate culture, wrapped in a package of false promises and complete disregard for human wellbeing. This company operates like a digital sweatshop where employees are disposable resources to be exploited until they burn out and quit. The management style is predatory micromanagement that strips away your autonomy, dignity, and mental health piece by piece. They monitor your every move, question your every decision, and create an atmosphere so suffocating that you'll find yourself having panic attacks just thinking about logging in to work. The workload is deliberately designed to be impossible to complete, ensuring you're always behind, always stressed, and always feeling inadequate. This isn't accidental - it's a calculated strategy to keep employees desperate and compliant. Management pretends to care about your concerns during meetings, nodding sympathetically while planning to ignore every word you've said. They've perfected the art of gaslighting employees into believing that the toxic environment is somehow their fault. The mental health destruction is systematic and severe. Employees regularly develop anxiety disorders, depression, and stress-related physical symptoms that follow them home and poison their personal relationships. You'll find yourself crying in your bathroom, losing sleep over impossible deadlines, and watching your self-esteem crumble as you're working yourself to exhaustion. The company shows zero empathy for the human cost of their relentless metric obsession - you're just a number on a spreadsheet to be optimized until you break. Quality becomes impossible when you're drowning in an ocean of unrealistic expectations with no life preserver in sight. The company demands perfection while providing chaos, expects loyalty while showing none in return, and promises growth while systematically destroying your confidence and capabilities. There's no work-life balance because the toxicity follows you everywhere, contaminating your relationships, your sleep, your peace of mind, and your sense of self-worth. Working at Rippling isn't just a bad job - it's an experience that can fundamentally damage your relationship with work itself, leaving you questioning your abilities and worth long after you escape. If you're considering joining this company, please reconsider. Your mental health, your relationships, and your future self will thank you for choosing literally anywhere else.

Pros

Absolutely none!!!! This was, hands down, one of the most exhausting and demoralizing jobs I’ve ever had. Right from the 1st day, it was obvious that employees weren’t respected or valued. And don’t be fooled by the positive reviews!

Cons

The workload is completely unmanageable, bordering on abusive. Projects are piled on with no regard for capacity, planning, or impact. Managers are unqualified, disconnected, and incapable of providing even the most basic level of direction. There’s no feedback, no coaching, and no interest in your growth. When problems inevitably arise — often due to broken systems or internal dysfunction — they throw you under the bus rather than taking accountability. Leadership’s only consistency is in its failure to lead. No amount of effort is ever enough. You can bleed for this place — sacrifice your time, health, and well-being — and you’ll be met with cold indifference, or worse, manufactured write-ups meant to force you out.
