Pros
ROKT has a really well-structured, well-paced 2-day induction program with the entire executive team present taking the inductees over the business domain, company culture and product suite.
They seem to have scaled from startup to international size quite effectively with beautiful new offices in Sydney, New York and London. And they have their sights set on some serious growth to come. To this end they hire and work to an international standard, often adopting some of the best practices from the truly successful tech companies around the world.
Also love that much of their engineering still takes place in Sydney.
Cons
Currently the pace of growth is creating some growing pains. From a longer term viewpoint the technology platform needs some significant refactoring. On the plus side, these are good problems to have and ROKT seems keen on investing in this area.

Thanks for your review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed our induction program and appreciate our high working and hiring standards. Our global company is indeed growing rapidly. As we grow, our priority is to invest heavily in our technology, to ensure we are offering our customers and clients a world class experience. We thank you for being a part of Rokt, and encourage you to keep sharing your feedback and ideas!
Rokt is the kind of place where you can grow fast if you're willing to put in the work. I've built my way up to senior leadership over my time here, that kind of trajectory doesn't happen without real investment from the company in its people. The work is genuinely complex and interesting: you're sitting at the intersection of technology, commercial strategy, and some of the biggest brands in the world. The caliber of teammates has been consistently high, and the culture pushes you to think bigger and challenge yourself. There's also a real emphasis on building leaders from within, which I've benefited from directly and tried to pay forward with my own team.
Cons
Fast growth means things move quickly and priorities can shift. If you need a lot of structure or predictability, it can feel like a lot. Ambiguity is part of the job, and not everyone thrives in that environment.
