You find the perfect role. You prepare for Rippling interview questions. You nail the conversations, then finally, you land the job. What comes next? 

Hear from nine new Ripplers on what it’s been like to run hard and kickstart their Rippling careers.

Daniyal Syed, San Francisco

“I quickly saw that feedback loops here are very short. I get answers to questions readily and I am expected to ask them, too! My colleagues are super supportive, from initial onboarding, to diving deep into queries, to helping me get my 30/60/90 tasks done. I remember in one session with a colleague, we were able to complete an analysis query for a critical security detection within an hour, whereas it would have taken over a day of trial and error to figure out.” - Daniyal Syed, Senior Security Engineer, San Francisco

Annabelle Druce, Sydney

“At Rippling, ‘we run hard’ means hitting the ground running and pushing for impact from day one. In my first month, that has looked like jumping into a fast-paced, exciting environment with a team that genuinely has each other’s backs. Our Sydney account management pod is tight-knit, collaborative, and always sharing knowledge to help each other and our customers succeed. It’s been incredibly rewarding to build strong relationships with our APAC customers as the region grows—busy, fun, and full of energy.” - Annabelle Druce, Technical Account Manager, International TAM, Sydney

Medha Shrivastava, Bangalore 

“In my first few days, what stood out most is the passion and conviction every team member brings to the table. There’s a clear sense of purpose behind what we’re building, and that energy is contagious. It’s what “running hard” looks like—showing up with enthusiasm, focus, and drive. Onboarding has been thoughtful and energizing, and I’ve felt truly supported by a warm, collaborative team that’s eager to help each other thrive. I’m excited to keep learning, contributing, and creating meaningful impact alongside such a talented group.” - Medha Shrivastava, Engineering Manager, Inventory Management, Bangalore

Kristian Mansfield, Dublin

“My first 30 days at Rippling have flown by — in the best way. The pace here is fast, the growth is real, and every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn. What stands out most is the caliber of people, everyone is deeply committed to solving hard problems and driving toward a shared goal. That energy is contagious and it makes Rippling an incredibly compelling place to be and a really easy match for candidates who thrive in high-growth, high-impact environments.” - Kristian Mansfield, Business Recruiter, Dublin

Yiti Jiang, San Francisco

“During onboarding, they weren’t joking when they said things move fast — problems get unblocked quickly, support comes fast, and there’s always something exciting happening. But my teammates also showed me that "fast" isn't the only thing here. My manager and mentor are always mindful of my capacity, everyone proactively steps in when I'm stuck, and they love discussing and striving for improvement beyond our projects. That balance has made ramping up not only manageable but also enjoyable.” - Yiti Jiang, Software Engineer, San Francisco

Sameer Nagpal, Bangalore

“I've said before that spending three months in a startup is akin to a year in a legacy organization — and never have these words been truer than in a company like Rippling. In the three months that I have been with the PEO Operations team, we've had new products launched and old processes automated, changing a significant portion of the work that we do. Thus, it’s critical to have a continuous learning mindset. I absolutely love it!” - Sameer Nagpal, Director,  PEO and ASO Operations, Bangalore

Mira Dhakal, New York

“The biggest thing that stood out to me was the caliber of the people. The work is challenging and the projects come at you nonstop, but everyone around you will always jump at the opportunity to help, be the first to lean in, and move mountains to make the highest quality product. People here are relentless in their pursuit of excellence; everyone on my team inspires me to think bigger and move faster.” - Mira Dhakal, Social Content Manager, New York

Dom White, San Francisco

“My first few months at Rippling have been a blur. I've been at plenty of places that expect you to hit the ground running day one, but Rippling actually gives you the runway to do that. Being surrounded by a team full of some of the smartest, passionate, and helpful people I've ever worked with has been instrumental to my success here. No matter the question, someone is always willing to hop on a quick chat and share their knowledge with you and I can't wait to get to a point where I'm able to be that person for the next round of new Ripplers.” - Dom White, Senior Technical Sourcer, San Francisco

Pete Fishman, New York

“After 30+ days, the biggest takeaway is just how vast Rippling’s product surface area really is. It’s a challenge to go deep quickly, and it can be intimidating to not know things while trying to contribute alongside folks who’ve been here longer with much more domain knowledge. There’s definitely a bit of “figure it out as you go” involved — but that’s also what’s made it engaging. The team has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. I love running into colleagues from my starting class who are always supportive. And yes, I’ve also significantly upgraded my latte game in the process.” - Pete Fishman, Vice President, Data Science
