I did a phone screen, 1-hour technical, and project deep dive but did not proceed to the final stage. The technical question was practical and emphasized data structures, testing, and OOP.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
After basic pleasantries, the system design question was - Design a hotel booking system. The interviewer was an eng manager. The env was coderpad.
It's a pretty standard question where you need to manage hotel inventories (keep in mind small and large scale hotels), room bookings for guests, etc.
The process was coding-heavy and centered on data structures and algorithms. The interview included problems such as Median of Two Sorted Arrays, Maximize Amount After Two Days of Conversions, and Find Bounding Boxes of Connected Houses in a Ragged Grid. Interviewers also asked about time complexity, edge cases, and optimization tradeoffs.

I applied online. I interviewed at Rippling (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
I spent a lot of time and effort preparing for my interviews, they were relatively easy but I don’t think this company actually wants to hire people. I thought my interview went super well but I received a flat out rejection (standard automated rejection after onsite) it absolutely crushed me. No feedback or follow up, straight up rejection. They’re soulless, do not join. I think I dodged a bullet
