I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
I was referred by one of my friends only to feel dissappointed. After the referral, the recruiter contacted me the very next day and we had a great chat. After that, my phone screen interview was scheduled where we spent about 40 minutes coding the solution. I gave the optimal solution but did make one silly mistake which had to be pointed out by the interviewer but I fixed it right away after it was pointed out. Otherwise, my code was very readable and I took care of all the edge cases. The next day I received the rejection email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Processing JSON and performing basic math operations.
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.
