I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Seems like interviewers have specific checkboxes that they need to check off. If you don't hit enough of them, you'll fail even if you solved the questions.
3 separate rounds, 5 total interviews
Technical Phone Screen - leetcode
Hiring Manager Screen - project deep dive
Onsite - coding - leetcode
Onsite - system design - standard system design
Onsite - API coding + trivia questions - very simple api problem. Answering a ton of small trivia questions

I applied online. I interviewed at Rippling in June 2026
Interview
Standard leetcode style question that is easy/medium difficulties. It was straight forward, AI is enabled too which is good, but not sure if it is a good idea to use it during the interview.
1 phone screen followed by 3 onsite rounds - 1 coding, 1 behavioral, and 1 project deep dive. Questions were pretty straight forward and fair. I did not get the offer though since I was out of practice.

If successful:
- 2 more coding interviews
