Rippling Software Engineer interview: referral and familiar questions

I came through a referral, and the initial call felt conversational rather than gatekeeping. Within about two and a half weeks, I had a technical coding interview and a behavioral interview.

The coding questions asked for the first non-repeating character in a string and validation of parentheses. The process was straightforward, not harsh or confusing. I felt good afterward and happily accepted the offer. What stayed with me was how fast everything moved once it started.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: got offer.
