Pros

Business outlook is strong, well established in the space. Executive leadership is strategic.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. But it does depend on your team. The marketing and communication org is lead by fear. Optics are often more important than quality of work. The timelines are aggressive but everything is so much harder to complete because they’ve indexed on execution over process. Don’t love that they donated to Trump’s ballroom either. The RTO is all about visibility and not collaboration despite their claims.

Pros

Competitive compensation and benefits. Good amenities.

Cons

People work hard at Ripple, but there is remarkably little to show for it. Priorities shift constantly, and every new fire drill becomes the top priority, pushing everything else aside. There is no consistent product strategy. If you want to build products that create real customer value, this is probably not the right environment for you. It can be surprisingly difficult to point to meaningful outcomes despite the time and effort invested.
