Rokt

• Decent benefits
• Decent tech stack, a few things to learn
• Generally nice people

Hypocrisy: Management keeps yapping about culture and how it's the cornerstone of the company. They also run quarterly surveys just to ignore the results and do absolutely nothing about them, while coming up with lame excuses for genuine feedback. Instead, they point fingers at other companies without ever acknowledging that Rokt's culture is toxic and outright depressing.

Nobody is ever safe: Entire teams get axed and disbanded overnight just because management wants to. A bunch of people are leaving or being made redundant, and more are interviewing.

Bad work-life balance: Frequent on-call issues (not paid on-call, lol). You either grab and deliver big pieces, or you might end up PICed/PIPed because your impact is low.

IPO has been "next year" for the last 4-5 years: Constant lies about when it's going to happen, if it ever happens. I wouldn't buy that stuff if a recruiter tries to sell you on this; go get real cash.

On a side note, when reading a review, pay attention to the number of upvotes. This is how you know it's genuine and actually reflects how people feel.

Admit what you are and stop selling people dreams about culture, IPO, etc., that are not real or many years away, if ever.
