I applied online. I interviewed at Rippling in Jan 2026
Interview
Applied online and had a great experience with the recruiter; they were following up promptly throughout the process, and prepared me before each round. First: Phone Screening, Second: Hiring Manager, and Third: Peer and Director. I'm waiting for the final response now.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions are situational "tell me about a time..." I highly recommend reading the interview kit.
Overall Experience: Unprofessional, yet eye-opening
I applied in May 2026, then had a 1st round with a recruiter. The recruiter informed me that their interview process went as follows: 1st round, then 2nd with hiring manager, followed by a take-home case study, then a 4th behavioral round. The provided interview kit mentions as much, as it says explicitly that the recruiter would "help you prepare [for the case study] with appropriate guidance and resources."
The 1st and 2nd round actually happened, but there was no take-home case study. Instead, there was a surprise live case study in the 4th final round, contrary to their interview kit. The interviewer's demeanor during this case study was patronizing and dismissive. This bait-and-switch tactic was entirely unnecessary and unprofessional.
I received a rejection email 2 weeks later that encouraged me to ask for feedback, yet it was from a no reply email address.
