Rippling Senior Software Engineer interview questions

I had previously interviewed with rippling less than a year ago and passed their technical, though I decided not to move forward in the process at the time. I tell my recruiter this, and she suggests I start over the process since it had been a while. That’s fine. Problem is, I had the same exact question the first time. I told my interviewer this. I finished the interview and was told I had to schedule a second technical. Fine. I’m pretty positive I do well on it too, answered all questions and got on well with the interviewer. The next day, I receive a rejection email that they had moved on with candidates with a better match for the job. Another review mentioned this, but since there are an influx of candidates with limited roles, they’ll just put as many people through the process carelessly to play the numbers game. Why did I need to do the exact same technical exercise that I had already been given, only to have to follow up with a second technical? No feedback was given, so it was a waste of time. I do believe that this reflects on Rippling’s culture directly. I wouldn’t recommend interviewing let alone working for a business with such morally questionable tactics. Fast forward to current,

An hour technical screen interview with CodePair. Make sure you write executable code in the environment. The interviewer was a bit distracted but overall smooth experience. The question would start from some scratch code with follow ups.
