Pros

- Really enjoy working with co-workers - Engineering problems are at a scale and complexity that is very interesting - A good size where an individual contributor can still make material impacts on the business, and scale is a material consideration. - Fast pace to keep the business growing at ~40% / year means lots of opportunities for growth -Great compensation and benefits

Cons

- Engineering calls while Sydney office is online can stretch out work day to late hours. - Fast paced environment can be uncomfortable for some and is not for everyone - On-call rotations lead to deeper service mastery, but occasional wake-up pages - Management can make big pivots with poor initial explanations

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.
