Pros

- free lunch, playstation(wont get time to play), gko travel and accomodation(pretty luxurious) - one part of the engineering still seems to be doing well with a good environment

Cons

- very toxic management - cannot question back and have to accept decisions, solutions, architecture handed down from top level - have to take full blame for failure even though it happened because of the handed down decision - awful work life balance and then no reward or recognition - highly driven by fear and politics, management seems to be vengeful and vindictive - the platform is not self serve so there is not that many interesting problems of scale - seen too many smart people having the worst time even though they gave their all and eventually leaving - surveys are not anonymous and your response will have repercussions - not a very inclusive environment - have to constantly sell yourself and step over others or else you will get crushed

Pros

My co-workers are very friendly.

Cons

- The miserable culture at Rokt exists because of blatant favoritism from those in charge. - Managers clearly favor certain employees and openly give them opportunities and advantages that everyone else is denied. - Office politics are relentless and exhausting. - The salary is nowhere near enough to justify putting up with any of it.
