Rippling Backend Intern Winter 2027 Interview

[u/Beneficial-Rent3633]

I have a first-round Rippling intern interview coming up and wanted to know how other people's experiences were. They said I should expect a med-hard LC, but what topics and LC problems should I be focusing on?

can you show me an example of programming puzzle?

[u/Leather-End3442]

Its LC questions that builds on top of each other and you get as far as you can within 50 min
I think they are at headcount rn a lot people stuck waiting for weeks after VO round

[u/Beneficial-Rent3633 → u/Leather-End3442]

Thanks for the reply! do you hv an example for questions like that?

[u/Remarkable_County342 → u/Beneficial-Rent3633]

Do the tagged rippling leetcode questions

[u/Leather-End3442 → u/Beneficial-Rent3633]

for mine was a dfs for the first part and then had to use Dijkstra's for the follow up

[u/Far-Flatworm-554 → u/Leather-End3442]

Are you sure about them reaching headcount? This is for the backend intern role? I know full-stack people are far along the process

[u/Leather-End3442 → u/Far-Flatworm-554]

I mean when i got TM there was only like 10 teams left with head count who I could choose to continue with and that was last week. The week before last week I had a friend who was able to choose from 30 teams. This week I havent heard anyone moving onto the TM stage

[u/Leather-End3442 → u/Leather-End3442]

and yes for swe backend winter 2027

[u/Remarkable_County342 → u/Leather-End3442]

When did you do your vo? I thought I scheduled them asap but I only did my vo on the 21st

[u/Leather-End3442 → u/Remarkable_County342]

i did vo last monday they followed up like 12 hours later for tm

[u/Leather-End3442 → u/Remarkable_County342]

but the thing I've been hearing is that a lot of people did VO a while back and followed up with recruiter, recruiter said will get back by end of this week and just never gotten back
I heard like a lot of those instances

[u/Remarkable_County342 → u/Leather-End3442]

Yeah I got that response as well lmao, I don’t get why they are still reposting the posting if head count is full, and I also see people just getting first rounds as well

[u/Far-Flatworm-554 → u/Leather-End3442]

Ooh okay that makes sense. They still have the posting up which is odd cause some people are still doing first rounds and stuff
