Terrible experience! Wasted hours preparing. 10 interviews and 2 projects later, to get a generic email decline. Team touts “mission driven” but based on my experience, they’re judgmental and rude!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Rippleworks in Mar 2026

Terrible experience! Do not waste your time, they do not care about you and will waste hours
Of your time with rounds of interviews and projects, and then send a generic email to decline you. It’s so upsetting!
Organization was very kind and transparent about the entire process and what to expect. Ultimately I came away disappointed given how strongly they position themselves as a mission-driven organization.
Throughout the process, there was a clear emphasis in their communication on being “mission-focused,” which I appreciated and aligned with. However, my experience in the interview felt completely disconnected from that messaging. As I moved forward in the interview process, the interviewer showed little interest in discussing the mission in any meaningful way, and there was minimal effort to understand me as a person or how my background connected to their work.
The conversation felt transactional and surface-level, which was surprising for an organization that emphasizes impact and values alignment. I would have expected a deeper dialogue around motivation, purpose, and fit...especially given the nature of their work.
Overall, the experience didn’t reflect the culture or priorities they communicate externally.
