I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in May 2025
Interview
They are just wasting everyone's time at this point. Someone else added this experience, and my interview experience was EXACTLY like it!
My only question is, why WASTE everyone's time?
Copying the other person's post just to emphasize the point,
"
Not actually hiring, just wasting your time. They are building a tool to help with interviewing candidates, and you are a guinea pig for that. I completed their live coding interview and the interviewer scaled up the problem 3 times, and I answered all the questions, from the approach to implementation and time complexity. I followed up the next day, and they immediately sent me the copy-pasta email, saying: we regret to inform you that we have decided to move forward with other candidates who more closely match our current needs and requirements for this position.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Food delivery companies employ tens of thousands of delivery drivers who each submit hundreds of deliveries per week. Delivery details are automatically sent to the system immediately after the delivery. Delivery drivers have different hourly payment rates, depending on their performance. Drivers can take on, and be paid for, multiple deliveries simultaneously. If a driver is paid $10.00 per hour, and a delivery takes 1 hour and 30 minutes, the driver is paid $15.00 for that delivery. We are building a dashboard to show a single number - the total cost of all deliveries - on screens in the accounting department offices.

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
