Pros

- Employment benefits are great, e.g. lunches, wellbeing/club allowance, level up allowance - Competitive compensation package - A rapidly growing business, always learning - Career growth opportunities - Some really great people work there - Transparency and flow of information across the business, management tries to answer all the questions asap - CEO is a decent person and sincerely cares about the people - good people team

Cons

- Work/life balance is not great - People (no matter their title or position) are scared of losing their jobs which has created a toxic environment - Product team is struggling, poor leadership with a lack of clear direction - Good people are leaving the business, and some other engineers have expressed their intention to seek opportunities outside Rokt - No flexibility on working from home, pretty scary that we are all required to go to office fulltime

Pros

The other engineers I worked with were all pretty great people, unfortunately there seemed to be more people leaving then join while I was at rokt, and a lot of them were getting into pretty good companies e.g google so it goes to show that the engineers at rokt were pretty good.

Cons

Lots of people leaving / not staying on for a long period of time. There also felt like a disconnect between the engineering office in sydney and the main business side of things in NY.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed working with our brilliant team of engineers. We are a fast paced and growing global organisation, and for this reason, we believe it is normal and healthy to have some turnover. We are a place where people accelerate their careers and learn a lot through working with the best and smartest brands and people in the world - but we do have very high expectations for our Rokt’stars - that means we are not the right place for everyone. We appreciate the feedback around the disconnect between the engineering office in Sydney and our commercial office in NY. We are actively working to improve this by building out a Research and Development team in NY to ensure there is greater synergy between our commercial, product and engineering teams in order to provide smarter, faster and better solutions to our customers.
