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 questions ASAP.
- The 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. The product team is struggling, with poor leadership and a lack of clear direction. Good people are leaving the business, and some other engineers have expressed their intention to seek opportunities outside Rokt. There is no flexibility on working from home; it's pretty scary that we are all required to go to the office full-time.

Great Engineers, High Turnover
Software Engineer • Former Employee
May 28, 2020
Pros: The other engineers I worked with were all pretty great people. Unfortunately, there seemed to be more people leaving than joining 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.
