Pros

I had a really good experience at Rockwell. I was incredibly lucky when I first got there I was put on a team with an amazing PM and very talented lead designer. They weren't the typical egotistical types and were actually just really good at their jobs. And the projects were definitely a step above what I had been working on at past firms. As I took on new projects with different teams, personalities definitely changed and I didn't love it as much as I first did. But I recognized you can't have everything and sometimes you just have to grin and bear imperfect situations to accomplish certain things. The vibe of the place is not exactly warm and that wasn't what I was expecting when I took the job. I wanted a challenge and an opportunity to move into the next phase of my career. I got exactly what I was looking for and I definitely learned a lot. When I left I was pleasantly surprised how my studio leader and past clients reached out and said really nice appreciative things to me. My experience there definitely opened some doors. I have to say I'm really appreciative because I would not be where I am now without working there.

Cons

There are so many personalities there, a lot of them coming and going, you just have to be prepared for anything. Also - this is the case anywhere, but I did feel cute flirty girls got ahead while the hardworking people went a little less recognized.

Pros

I was given immediate opportunities to work on multiple projects even as an intern. Felt a part of the team from day one. Highly recommend applying to Rockwell Group. Also, a pro is that the office is dog-friendly!

Cons

No cons by any means. Learned so much there.

Pros

Interesting and high-visibility projects. The company has strong industry recognition and a reputable brand.

Cons

No matter how much effort you put in, studio leadership often has little visibility into individual contributions. Significant time investment—even sustained 100-hour workweeks over multiple months—does not lead to recognition or compensation. Work quality alone is not enough. Recognition tends to depend more on self-promotion and communication than on actual output. As a result, contributions can go unnoticed or be misattributed. There are also concerns around accountability. In some cases, senior staff disengage during critical deadlines yet still receive credit for completed work. This creates an uneven and discouraging environment for those carrying the workload. The culture appears to prioritize internal politics over merit. Attempts to raise concerns through HR have not led to meaningful change. When individuals who contribute to revenue are protected despite toxic behavior, it leaves others to absorb the negative impact. Overall, this dynamic leads to burnout, lack of recognition, and limited trust in leadership processes.
