• “Avoid Rippling at all costs. I've never encountered a worse company. The salesperson outright lied to us—so blatantly that I was able to prove it and secure a few months of reimbursement. Their support team is clueless, often responding to clear issues (with screenshots provided) by saying they need to "look into it further." Their proposed solutions? Convoluted workarounds that barely address basic problems.”
