I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling in Mar 2023
Interview
Round 1- Call with recruiter. Talked about my experience and technologies. Round 2 - Tech screen and design. Round 3 - Non=technical interview with the hiring senior manager. He seemed very clueless and did not seem like had any software engineering experience. Was trying to act funny like he has been a developer all his life. I answered all his dumb questions. His only questions were about how fast can you finish projects. From the interviews I could see the poor quality of senior manager. After this interview had serious doubts about the engineering culture and the quality of managers.

Question 1
Round 1- Call with recruiter. Talked about my experience and technologies. Round 2 - Tech screen and design. Round 3 - Non=technical interview with the hiring senior manager.
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
Typical process, HR screen then coding round (phone screen). Another coding rounds onsite and a system design. Then a project deep dive and team match.
They allow you to use AI in the coding round, which was strange because its a typical leetcode-style question. Claude was able to one-shot it.
