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

Rokt is the kind of place where you can grow fast if you're willing to put in the work. I've built my way up to senior leadership over my time here, that kind of trajectory doesn't happen without real investment from the company in its people. The work is genuinely complex and interesting: you're sitting at the intersection of technology, commercial strategy, and some of the biggest brands in the world. The caliber of teammates has been consistently high, and the culture pushes you to think bigger and challenge yourself. There's also a real emphasis on building leaders from within, which I've benefited from directly and tried to pay forward with my own team.

Cons

Fast growth means things move quickly and priorities can shift. If you need a lot of structure or predictability, it can feel like a lot. Ambiguity is part of the job, and not everyone thrives in that environment.
