I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
They follow very similar process as other companies does. Starts with quick recruiter screening call and then 1 hour Coding call. If all good then 1 hour system design and then hiring manager call.
I've heard about their culture from other professionals in SF but never have I ever encountered such unprofessional people. From recruiters to hiring manager, their behavior truly justifies their culture.
Other Sr Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Rippling
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.
