Rokt reviews

Diversity could be better (and it is on the come-up). The work-life harmony can always be better, but people managers are open to understanding your needs and keeping burn-out to a minimum (if not non-existent). Not a con, but it's nice to finally see a company who takes mental health and self-awareness seriously. If you're in need of a 9-5 where everyday looks the same; I would not recommend working here. Days are dynamic and the environment can be fast-paced at times. Between Series E and IPO, this team still moves quickly and the expectation is to meet (if not exceed) goals as we continue marching forward. Likewise, the workload is well-shared here and if you need a break; your co-workers are ready and willing share that load with you as the team mentality is a big deal here.

It's disappointing to see a company I thought so highly of, was talked up so genuinely about prior to joining is all just smoke, mirrors and free food and alcohol. Like so many start up-type companies, they thinks it's acceptable to overwork their "Rokt'stars" and if all of your hard work doesn't yield the results they are looking for (and results you're not necessarily aware of because the communication is vague), it's a downhill spiral of frantically fixing the problem, being deemed incompetent (sometimes publicly via chat), to eventually not being a right fit for the company. Management. Like many companies, the individuals who become managers are often put in those position because they are the only ones who have stayed long enough. Not in every case but often they are inexperienced and receive little to no training on how to manage a team with different personalities and working styles. Every project is life or death - from product to customer success to finance - it's do or do - there are no other options. Unless you're Australian, that seems to help win more bonus points. General favoritism for people who are loud and suck up to management and the executive team who completely eat it up to feed their own egos (ironically one of the company values is smart with humility). If you want to run the company like Amazon or Tesla, be up front about it. Don't advertise a great work-life balance and general company perks when the benefits that truly matter (parental leave, career development, development and training allowance) are either sub-par or difficult to obtain due to intense working conditions. For all the supposed transparency on company growth, there is a massive amount of miscommunication or complete lack of communication from the top down. Being an agile company is one thing but when the CEO doesn't like something anymore or suddenly becomes obsessed with another thing - employees shouldn't have to constantly pivot at the whims of the CEO. Otherwise, what's the point of having an opinion, let alone a brain?
