Pros
Rocket provided the freedom to make business decisions with customers which I thought was critical when negotiating with customers in a timely manner. The commission structure was good and management often added additional sales incentives. It was a pleasure to work with some great people at Rocket who are really smart and hard working. Rocket does have some good products with some very satisfied customers.
Cons
Rocket has many many software solutions that do not really fit together in one cohesive product portfolio. Very little training was provided so it was difficult to having meaningful conversations with customers when you were speaking about storage competing against EMC, then expected to discuss BI competing against Tableau, and then next discuss mainframe tools competing against CA and IBM (who happened to be our #1 partner). The website was awful for years which definitely hurt sales while Rocket continued to spend a lot of money on leadership summits and sales consultants which both failed to add much value in my eyes. Rocket does have some good solutions but most products fit into the category of declining to zero new sales with a large but declining maintenance revenue stream.
