About the company

Ripple Foods makes plant-based dairy alternatives using pea protein, including non-dairy milk, kids’ milk, and protein shakes. Ripple Foods positions the brand around matching dairy-like protein with lower sugar and a smaller environmental footprint. Ripple Foods is a Certified B Corporation and regularly publishes impact-style comparisons (carbon, water, sugar, protein) alongside product messaging. Recent announcements show Ripple Foods raising growth financing and appointing a new CEO in late 2025.

Locations and presence

Ripple Foods is headquartered in Berkeley, California, with an office address publicly listed there. Public Q&A from workers suggests many roles are remote-friendly with Berkeley as an in-person base.

Palpable Score

48.1

/ 100

Ripple Foods has some early-career entry points (associate-level roles show up in public job and review data), and interview experiences look mostly professional. The big limitation is visibility: Ripple Foods does not publicly show a steady pipeline of 0–3 year roles, pay ranges, or outcome metrics that help graduates judge stability and growth.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

9.3

/ 20

The company’s own careers page currently surfaces a very small set of openings, with “Associate Food Scientist” as the only clearly listed role.
Ripple Foods has early-career job titles appearing in employee review categories, including “Associate Engineer” and “Associate Scientist,” which suggests juniors have been hired.
The company does not publish a dedicated internship, apprentice, or new-grad pathway on the main careers site, which makes entry points hard to find and likely irregular.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company has multiple public candidate reports describing responsive recruiters and engaged panels for interviews, which is a good baseline for early-career treatment.
Ripple Foods is described in public interview summaries as “about a week” end-to-end in some cases, which reduces uncertainty for first-job candidates.
The company does not provide an official “what to expect” interview outline or assessment expectations on the careers page, so transparency relies on third-party accounts.

‍

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company does not describe onboarding, mentorship, buddy systems, or structured coaching on the careers page, so learning support is not clearly committed to in writing.
Ripple Foods has employee feedback that mentions startup-style learning and exposure, but also flags management quality as uneven, which can make support inconsistent for juniors.
The company’s only prominently listed role is specialized (food science), and there is little public detail on how early-career hires ramp or get feedback in the first 30 to 90 days.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

9.3

/ 20

The company’s public job entry points do not consistently show salary ranges, which caps pay-fairness confidence for graduates comparing offers.
Ripple Foods has public employee feedback where compensation is described as on the low end in at least some contexts, even alongside positives like work-life balance.
The company has a stated remote-friendly setup in public Q&A, which can improve practical affordability for early-career hires, but it does not replace pay transparency.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.5

/ 20

The company has enough public review volume to show directional signals like recommendation rate and work-life balance, which is better than a total information void.
Ripple Foods does not publish intern conversion rates, promotion timelines, or leveling criteria, so early-career progression outcomes cannot be scored strongly.
The company has mixed management-related feedback in reviews, which is a risk factor for retention and growth for juniors, but it is not specific enough to quantify outcomes.
