Pros

The core product is really exceptional, but the product gives rise to a lot of the same problems of any oil state. Because we don't need to innovate, we try a lot of whimsical ideas from our CEO or CCO but nothing ends up launching that moves the needle because nothing has buy-in from all levels of the full product and engineering org.

Cons

Autocratic leadership. Arbitrary hiring and firing decisions. Idiotic career ladder changes that act like they are trying to hire in the 2009 job market and not the current one. No remote work flexibility. The equity compensation for those hired during the depths of the pandemic, when valuations were low, is really good, but that makes it so that finding new talent at the current valuation given the very low cash salary bands and in-office requirements has led to a significant degradation of talent over the last 6 months.

Pros

- Working with very intelligent people - Everyone is always willing to help one another (collaborative) - Everyday is a hustle and you’re challenged to do better

Cons

As it’s a global company, the meetings at times which don’t suit everyone can be difficult but not a massive con.

Pros

You only need to look at Rokt's success over the past 9+ years to know that many of the negative reviews are coming from people who havent made the cut or who couldnt keep up with the growth and pace. Profitable, the most enviable investors worldwide and increasing numbers of the leading e-commerce companies globally as clients. It is definitely not the company for everyone. If you dont like change, then dont join Rokt, as the business is constantly growing and changing and learning and improving. The great thing is that the leadership team sincerely want us to contribute to the things that we do change in the future - whether that be in the product or in the culture. And with every change, there will be those who agree and those who disagree. The main question is, do we mostly make the right changes? And so far, the success of the company would say yes. We are winning.

Cons

Being a global company means we work with people in many timezones and locations, that can make it hard to keep routine daily hours. But the company supports and encourages us to take time back if we do work late/early for global meetings. No company is perfect, how can it be, it's made up of humans!
