Pros

- compensation package - benefits

Cons

Rokt is one of the companies that cares not to groom or develop it's employees. There is no formal onboarding process for most roles with zero mentorship or partnership with your manager. Essentially sink or swim from day 1. If you figure it out, perfect..if not you will be gone in less than a year. Your deliverables will forever be a cloudy haze of moving goalposts buttressed by the fact you receive no guidance from your Manager, or guidance that will reflect the ever changing goal post. One week you will be "on point", the following week you will be incompetent. You will never hear "good job" at this company and will be verbally and publicly compared to peers by managers. It is not a growth culture. There are no standardized method of how things should be done with reports and peers, so for example "Yes, do more of this "thing", it is in alignment" swinging wildly to "why are you doing more of this "thing",it's not in alignment"....within a 10 day span.

Pros

The paycheck was on time. The infrastructure didn't get in my way technically.

Cons

•Ideas I brought up in meetings were routinely dismissed, only to see the exact same ideas approved weeks later when repeated by someone within the inner circle. •Meaningful projects consistently went to those already tied into the right connections, and it was clear capability had little to do with it. •Real mentorship and guidance existed, but it happened in closed conversations I was never part of, while others received constant support from senior engineers. •Key decisions were made in small informal groups, and I would only learn about them after everything had already been decided. •I was repeatedly assigned lower visibility infrastructure work while others were given opportunities to grow through impactful projects.
