Pros

The team at Rockerbox is made up of many go-getters, and nice and hardworking folks. People are eager to learn, grow, and collaborate. Since the team is smaller and newer, everyone is given a seat at the table to input their ideas, which is rare at larger companies. You also get to wear many hats, which can be a pro or a con depending on what you’re looking for.

Cons

A flexible work environment with unlimited PTO, a lot of new things to learn, and a team and management full of go-getters sounds great at first, but if not done correctly can actually create a very stressful work environment. People usually work outside of the 9-5 schedule, with meetings and work to get done from early morning until past dinner time. It isn’t “required” but since people do schedule or request meetings late and there’s always so much to do, it becomes inevitable. It’s easy to burnout and hard to say no. If you are willing to give your all to this job, sacrificing personal time and freedom (ironic because the job supposedly boasts freedom and flexibility with unlimited PTO), you can definitely learn and grow a lot in this role. However, that does come with a cost.

Pros

Excellent colleagues who are always eager to help and collaborate. The company remains remote-first, which is a breath of fresh air compared to many companies mandating hybrid or RTO. Lots of opportunities to take ownership, learn and make an impact. The culture rewards initiative and doesn't punish experimentation, which is exactly what you want to see at this stage.

Cons

It would be great if teams could get together more often in person - currently we have offsites around once per year.

Pros

Rockerbox is full of imperfect people who are living the company values daily. We are a fast-paced startup, but we're doing our best to make the right decisions to help each other be successful. During my tenure we've grown through some difficult times, ad it's been great to watch the team support each other as we grow.

Cons

We can get in our own way, but leadership is actively working on overcoming obstacles and making better decisions faster.
