Overall Satisfaction with Rippling

I work at a multinational company with offices in Brazil, the US, London, Tokyo, and Singapore. And we all use Rippling across the board. It was chosen as the best system after evaluating different options in multiple countries, and it's proven to be the most effective, intuitive globally. I mostly use it for submitting documents, managing PTO, reviewing internal job postings, and handling general HR-related tasks. It's been amazing! Helpful centralizing the processes and ensuring consistency across our global team.

Pros

  • Refer a friend or colleague for a job opening.
  • Apply yourself for a new position.
  • The PTO and vacation process is very simple, fully online, and the forms are easy to fill out. Reports are quickly sent to our managers for approval. Maybe it sounds like I’m exaggerating, but I’m really not — maybe it's just something we take for granted. I used to work at a great company with an absolutely terrible system. For over ten years, they couldn’t manage to replace it. Simple things like requesting time off, getting a raise, or uploading documents took forever — sometimes months — and even the IT team struggled with it. Compared to that, Rippling truly feels like magic.
  • Again: Intuitive, simple, just how it should be! We already have work and tasks that are often complicated! An HR system that is meant to help employees shouldn’t add to our workload, stress, or become a source of problems.

Cons

  • As I said: it’s great for me! But of course, the competition is always watching, so perhaps it’s worth having a team that monitors similar programs to understand what they’re doing.
  • Be very secure with the secrets that make you so good.
  • Analyze this "bug" that occurred in the last two weeks, where at least in Brazil, there was a delay in loading the page.
  • If possible, always improve the design. It catches attention, and people like it. It makes it light and fun to use.
  • Routine things like PTO requests and document uploads now take a few clicks instead of hours of email back‑and‑forth. I’d estimate I spend at least half the time on those tasks compared to before, which frees me up to actually help employees.
  • What used to drag on for days now gets done in a morning - I've just asked them this now. New hires can log in, set up their tools, and start training almost immediately, so they’re productive much sooner.
  • Payroll and benefits errors used to pop up regularly, but now I almost never have to fix things or follow up on missing info. That means less stress for me and for everyone involved.
  • Having everything in one platform cuts out the “where did you send that?” and “who approves this?” questions. It feels like we’ve reduced our back‑and‑forth by at least a third.
I would really like to know why Workday didn’t work...

1 - I submitted my diploma. It was accepted, but for three months I kept getting an error message saying I hadn’t submitted it. I’d talk to support, and they’d say I hadn’t submitted the diploma, but after checking, they'd realize I did, and it would take two more months for the issue to be resolved.
2 - I was reporting to a director, but when I started reporting to the president (they need to change this into the system), both handled the internal process—I'm not sure how it worked—they even had the service desk walk them through the process, saying it worked. It took 8 months.
3 - Changing positions, departments, or vacation days was something that would take months, and even IT wouldn’t help.
As I mentioned, I’ve had zero issues—every question was answered super quickly, everyone’s been so helpful, and the system is intuitive. And it’s not just because I’m new here. At my previous company, after five months (the same amount of time I’ve been here), I was already burning out because of the old system. All the employees felt it, but nothing ever changed.

I don't need to repeat it.
Rippling is great, easy, simple. We already have many complicated tasks at work and in life, and we have little time. Spending an absurd amount of time to use an HR system is ridiculous, and so far, Rippling is the only one, in my opinion, that has understood this.
It might sound repetitive, but Rippling is very intuitive, easy to use, and fill out. It’s not as bureaucratic as many systems, even in 2025, that companies with modern setups still use! So, when I know I need to fill something out in Rippling, I don’t procrastinate or get stressed because it will take up my time. No, it’s super simple and easy for me. Recently, I referred a friend, and it didn’t take 5 minutes, and I can even track the application processI just remembered., the only scenario that’s not very appropriate — and I can’t go into details as I’m not from HR and I’ve only recently joined the company — is that in Brazil, we are entitled by law to 30 days of paid vacation. We can take at least 15 days and sell the remaining days, and Rippling doesn’t fully understand this. I believe the HR director called an employee in Brazil, concerned that she had vacation days to take or something like that. In the end, she resolved it manually and said it was easy, but this would be a good area for improvement.
