The Rippling loop, from candidate reports

Rippling's loop is built mostly on practical, multi-part coding rather than LeetCode. The phone screen is one problem that grows in parts, often on HackerRank, and the most reported by far is a delivery driver payment system: record deliveries and return the total cost, then pay up to a given time, then find the most drivers working at once in the past 24 hours. Other screens reported are a card-hand comparison game, a task manager that dedupes, filters and sorts tasks with parents, and a logger with independent handlers and keyword search. Several candidates passed with two parts working and the third talked through, though others were rejected after the same. Many coding rounds let you use an AI assistant, and interviewers then ask you to explain the code it wrote; one recruiter put the bar at all three parts with AI and two without. Onsite coding is in the same style, most often an expense rules engine with per-expense, per-trip and composite rules, plus an article voting service and a round that builds a small runnable web API, reported in loops through early 2026. System design, a phone-screen round on some loops and an onsite round on others, is most often a news aggregator, then a user event tracking system and a hotel booking system over third-party hotel APIs. Many loops include a hiring-manager round built around a short presentation of one past project.
