Get yourself familiar with Rippling

● Series E Funding Announcement


● Data Gigs Blog (insight on how to stand out at Rippling as a prospect)
● Interview with Parker Conrad (Cartoon Avatars)
○ Logan talks with Rippling co-founder Parker Conrad about his personal
history, building a company, being forced out of Zenefits and the
founder/VC relationship.
● Why investors are so bullish on Rippling

What to expect:

● You will be tested on your problem-solving and core CS fundamental skills


(theory, algorithms, data structures, design patterns, recursions, binary tree
questions, etc.)
● You will need to think of an efficient, optimized, and bug-free solution to code up
quickly and concisely in whatever language you code best in.
● This will be a zoom interview, so please make sure you are keeping your video on
throughout the entire interview.

Helpful coding tips and practice:

● The goal of this interview is to assess your strengths, so please pick the systems
and frameworks that you are most familiar with
● Discuss initial ideas, solutions, and tradeoffs with your interviewer, which will help
you to clarify any ambiguity.
● Take hints from your interviewer to showcase your thought process and
problem-solving ability.
● Generally, avoid solutions with lots of edge cases or huge if/else if/else blocks.
Deciding between iteration and recursion is always an important step.
● Think about different algorithms and algorithmic techniques (sorting,
divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming/memorization, recursion).
● Think about data structures, particularly the ones used most often (Array,
Stack/Queue, HashSet/Hashmap/Hashtable/Dictionary, Tree/Binary Tree, Heap,
Graph, Bloom Filter, etc.)
● Don’t worry about rote memorization such as runtimes or API/native calls. It's
good to know how to figure out approximate runtimes on the fly but the code you
write is more important.
● You will be asked about O(Memory) constraints, the complexity of the algorithm
you are writing, and its runtime - O(N^2), O(N), etc.
● Prepare for (space-optimized, time-optimized, balanced optimized)
● Make sure to discuss with your interviewer the time and space complexity
constraints that your final code should have. Sometimes it might be prudent to
come up with a functional solution (rather than the most optimal one) in a limited
time setting of an interview - having a thorough discussion about this with your
interviewer can help in such scenarios.
● Understand different data structures and trade-offs they had between them
● Write readable code
● Ask clarifying questions
