Pros
I’ve worked at Rocketrip for over a year and am honestly shocked by some of the negative reviews. I’ve had a great experience working here and am continuously impressed by the team. - Friendly, smart, collaborative coworkers who push you to bring your best self to work every day. - Opportunities for career growth. I’ve seen several of my peers rise through the ranks and my own manager and I regularly talk about my growth and development. I’ve also seen multiple people make lateral moves based on personal career goals and thrive in their new roles. - Leaders regularly communicate plans for the company’s future during weekly and monthly company-wide meetings. We use OKRs to ensure everyone’s goals are aligned and a platform that allows for total transparency on the progress of each person’s objectives. - Feedback is well received and encouraged. I’ve witnessed countless examples. As long as you’re professional about the way you share feedback, it’s respected. - Throughout my time here we’ve had a diverse team and have held regular D&I discussions to continue to educate the team. The company has also promoted a number of female employees to management or exec-level positions. - Unlimited PTO, competitive health benefits, office dogs, and lots of fun parties and team bonding events.
Cons
- No company is without growing pains. If you can’t be self-sufficient there’s a chance you’ll struggle. However, the company partnered with a consulting firm that specializes in organization development to make sure that managers have the right tools to successfully lead their teams and support those who might need some extra attention. - 7 people were let go at the end of 2018 (this is the “massive layoff” that the other posts refer to) and morale took a temporary dip but bounced back and everyone here is focused on the future.
