I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
Started by Design interview.
Inexperienced interviewer, didn't bother asking the right questions, very vague demands, asked about a problem unrelated to their core business, most likely have not experienced it ever, but somehow figured out the junior guy can ask staff questions? haha, run!
I think the Zenefits culture is still present, avoid!

Question 1
design news.google.com, that's it, that's the problem.
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.
- Coding screening
If successful:
- 2 more coding interviews
- system design interview
- product design interview; power point with previous project presentation
- behavioural interview
- 2-3 references
