Pros

High growth, global, smart passionate team. Founder CEO which means a clear vision and mission. The man knows every part of the business so well it can be disarming but certainly means you learn! The team, the team, the team. When a company is so picky about who works in the company and ensures everyone raises the bar when they join, it means you are in a very high performance team which is inspiring. There is a real sense of achievement together when the business does well as everyone really individually is adding value. Lots of investment in team events including an annual global conference for the whole team, in Jan 2020 it was in Thailand.

Cons

Keeping up can be hard! Rokt isn't for everyone, if you prefer a slower pace or somewhere things always remain the same, then don't consider working here.

We have heard the feedback on our pace, and we are committed to addressing this to ensure Rokt is a place where all our team members can enjoy the ride. If you have any further feedback on this, our People team would love to hear from you.

Pros

- Employee's at Rokt are kind, competent, collaborative and driven - Rokt invests heavily in their employees - Leadership is transparent - Flexibility in roles allows for development in a variety of areas

Cons

- Training is lacking, relying on large data dumps when you are first onboarded and followed by a "thrown into the deep end" style as a follow-up. - Communication practices are unstructured causing constant distractions - People management is not a culturally driven skill-set, people are elevated to people management roles without any focus on people management skill-sets - Work/life balance is a significant problem - Deviation from the status-quo is not welcomed or accepted - When problems arise, the focus is on blame rather than resolution

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on working at Rokt. We completely agree about our team of Rokt’stars, they are one of a kind! You are right that Rokt invests heavily in employees. We understand the importance of ongoing development for individuals, and how that impacts our overall success as a business. We know we can improve in this space - as you have highlighted, in onboarding and management training in particular - and our People team is working on building this out to set our team members up for success in their roles. While we don’t deny that we are a fast paced business, it’s concerning that you call out balance as a problem. We have a great PTO package, a wellbeing allowance and other benefits to support you, so please speak with your manager to see how we can help. With one of our core values being to Conquer New Frontiers, it’s surprising to hear that you feel new ideas are not welcomed. We love it when our teams try new things and push themselves out of their comfort zone. It’s where the magic happens! We’re sorry if that hasn’t been your experience to date, and would like to work with you on changing that. If you’d be comfortable to share further, our People team would love to hear from you for a confidential chat. Thank you again for sharing your insight, it’s so helpful for us to continue to improve the experience of our Rokt’stars.

Pros

Lunches are great, the trips were excellent. Overall its impressive what the CEO has accomplished - he is admirable.

Cons

You will be worked for the bone and the compensation will not balance out. Toxic workplace - you will be there for a fun time and not a long time. All of the cons are detailed in other posts - the reason they are so exhaustive is to really inform you what you are getting into. Just follow the patterns. It is the worst part of ad tech. There some real deal herbs working here.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate your kudos on our office perks and our annual kick off event - we think they are pretty great too. We also agree that our CEO has many admirable qualities and is a strong leader. We can see that our fast paced environment is not for everyone and it is something we will do a deeper dive on to ensure we can elevate some pain points for our people. And while we want our team to have fun, just as importantly we want them to be happy and feel recognised. We want our work environment to be a comfortable place for everyone and our newly appointed Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group as well as our People Team are dedicated to fostering this. We wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
