Entrevista
If you go to an interview just know that you better learn about the company and the culture because these people are 100% FULL of themselves. It doesn't matter if you are qualified with the education and experience. All they want is someone to tell them how great Rippling is. Interview started by my interviewer stating, "Well congratulations for making it this far most people dont"...like geez thanks i guess?? I should have left the zoom meeting when the interviewer said that because clearly these people aren't serious about hiring talent. Anyways I spent a good chunk of my interview listening about the founder and how great he is and how I should do my research on him. Which is funny because I DID do my research on him after the interview was over and way to show off the red flags there. And I'm not one to judge but until the hiring managers do their due diligence on finding the right people, they may have the same issue that they had with Zenefits. I thought I was applying for a sales role but I actually think they want just want someone to stroke their ego and tell them how great they are. Had they done their research they could have found out I was in the top of my sales team at my last job and made my previous company LOTS of money and my previous manager would have told you that too. In fact taking this job would have given me a pay cut but I was eager to start something new in tech sales. My point is don't judge a sales person by their personality. I may not have the all up in your face personality but I'm a shark when it comes to cold calling sales. Listening is a huge factor when it comes to sales because how ELSE are you going to find out what the customer's needs are? Finding the sweet spot of finding out the customer's needs is your selling advantage not over talking with a loud personality. Also I can read between the lines and when someone asks what the pay is and the hiring managers withold that information it generally tells me you guys pay below the market rate. Witholding pay information wastes everyone's time and if someone shows up for an interview that is almost 2 hours long you guys should at least have the courtesy of disclosing the pay when asked. But that's another red flag for another day because I wouldn't want to deal with a company that's not transparent when it comes to pay. But anywho the only reason I'm even posting this is because they have emailed me twice asking for exit feedback. But I'm going back to my old job to make my money because at the end of the day, that's all a true salesperson cares about.

You need to learn about the founder and dive deep into the company culture above anything else.

My interview experience was disappointing and felt disorganized.
I had an initial phone screen with a recruiter, and during that call we scheduled the next interview with the hiring manager for the following day. About an hour later, the hiring manager interview was canceled and I received a rejection email.
I understand companies may move forward with other candidates, but scheduling the next step and then canceling it almost immediately without additional context made the process feel messy and unprofessional. I followed up hoping to better understand what changed, but did not receive a response.
Overall, I would have appreciated clearer communication and a more consistent process.

The interview felt quite unstructured and rather awkward. The interviewer barely asked anything beyond requesting a brief explanation of my background. As a result, I ended up taking the lead; essentially steering the conversation and posing most of the questions myself. I was okay with that dynamic, though it was definitely unusual and not what I'd expect from a typical process.
I didn't advance past the first round, but that's perfectly fine. I only took the interview as practice for my upcoming FAANG interviews.
One aspect I was particularly curious about was whether the Glassdoor reviews accurately captured the company culture. From what I could gather by probing during the conversation, the complaints about work-life balance seem spot-on: expectations often include 10–12 hour days, limited time off, and some degree of CEO micromanagement.
Overall, based on my experience, this could be a solid entry-level role for a recent college grad looking to gain experience and use it as a stepping stone to a stronger SaaS company down the line.

Spoke to a recruiter, then hiring manager. Questions were pretty basic for a sales interview - "describe a time when" and performance. During the conversation with the hiring manager, I asked for feedback and the standard "any reservations about moving me forward?" question. HM responded that my answers were good. Got rejected after a couple of days. When I asked for feedback, the recruiter told me the HM didn't like my outfit and my answers were "too direct".
