Pros

Very smooth onboarding process. The first few days will feel like a dream come true

Cons

They jump from feature to feature every quarter. This has resulted in not one feature working properly. Anyone attending interviews here should as how many product pivots there has been in the last few years They have fixed non of the underlying issues on the product that has resulted in massive business loss This company counts on their sales team to somehow manage to fool one person in an organisation to acquire them as a customer as the product itself never works. This is the reason Rocketium has such low customer count and they even struggle to keep those customers onboard. This company is floating on the revenue of 3/4 customers only and those are the companies they will only talk about This company only waits for their customers to complain only then they work on broken features

It is sad to see you vent like this after all the good work you did over the last few months. I wish we could have worked together longer but clearly there were issues that prevented us from doing this. My comments below:- • On-boarding process - Thanks! This is a point of pride for us and something we are continuously improving. • Changing feature priorities - We do our best to balance being nimble and structured. We laid out our 2022 product roadmap and most of our work has been from it. It is natural to move on from features after wrapping them up. That has nothing to do with a pivot. • Business pivots - Pivots are a part of startup life and I have spoken about them openly here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1WjLqejldI. We have not changed our business focus since 2020 when we launched our creative ops platform. • Underlying product issues - Like every other product, we have our share of bugs. I have written about this too publicly - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/satejs_worldclass-activity-6900011959706624000-0oje. • Growing revenue by fooling, massive business losses, ... - This is incorrect. Most of our customers are enterprises (67% by count, 76% by revenue). Not only do they not leave us, they expand over time. Our 12-month net revenue retention is 129% and going higher. • Most revenue is from 3 or 4 customers - This is incorrect. Only 23% of our revenue is from our top 4 customers and 40% from our top 10. • Low adoption and incorrect positioning in media - We regularly look at our Weekly Active Users, % of active users, and % of credits used. This helps us identify both high-potential and low-usage accounts. None of this is shared or discussed publicly so not sure of the media positioning you are talking about.

Pros

I've been part of Rocketium for almost 6 months now. In such a short period my learning has been amazing because every team member here is super helpful and approachable. The culture here is beautiful and people treat each other with so much kindness. They listen to employees and make sure every query is addressed. We get refuel days every month to ensure everyone gets that extra day of break from work. Lastly, my favourite is the 845 culture. We work 8 am - 4 pm Monday - Friday.

Cons

So far its been great. No cons to add.
