Rippling Software Engineer interview experience

During the conversation, I learned a few role-and-company details that stood out to me: they might hire for a title one step lower than what I had at my last two jobs, they were forcing hybrid work with three days per week in the office, and they were trying to raise salaries to a level still below the industry standard.

I didn’t get an offer. My main takeaway wasn’t about technical performance—it was that the business constraints and compensation posture were already clear early, and that shaped how I felt about continuing.
