Pros

Remote work, but they treat it like it is special somehow

Cons

The reputation of this company is a joke and it´s own claims of greatness are exaggerated. As many reviews have mentioned, they force workers into precarious situations without providing any job stability. They step on people, and they should be held accountable, instead they are hiding behind false termination letters. There is a lot of trash talking going on here. Before joining Raketech, I had received multiple awards in my field. I took the Product owner position at Raketech just for kicks, only to learn that my income would be cut by half. After eight years in this field, they questioned my skills and it was laughable. Some individuals in this company regard you as a threat and would do whatever to get rid of you. It took 5 weeks to conduct all of the 3 interviews. Despite being informed differently, entrepreneurship is not welcomed here. Some employees are given the opportunity to "grow" inside the company, while others are not. The on-boarding process was terrible. No one told me how to do anything, so I had to figure it out on my own. People think you are incompetent if you ask how things work around here. You can't win. They claim the company is "remote," but I was recruited in Malta and forced to relocate, only to be terminated during my probationary period. I was compelled to forfeit two years of earned unemployment benefits from my home country. They could not care less. It is evident that the HR department consists of employees who have been with the company for several years, but this does not indicate that they are good at their work. Most Human Resources places you under incompetent managers and take sides. You have no say in anything. It's easy to tell that the HR people are happy with their pay and have no plans to leave anytime soon, yet they are robbing this business blind.

Pros

- Working remotely offers the flexibility to work from almost any location - You are granted a significant degree of autonomy in carrying out your responsibilities

Cons

- High employee turnover, with constant instances of layoffs or terminations - This leads to job insecurity, leaving you uncertain about your prospects for continued employment in the forthcoming weeks or months - Despite the constantly increasing responsibilities, the salary remains stagnant and below market standards - Restricted opportunities for professional development and growth - Inadequate mentorship. Managers often lack experience in people management, resulting in team members feeling disengaged, aimless, inadequately assisted, and lacking in enthusiasm - Certain employees receive preferential treatment from managers - Negative behaviour and hostility among employees are not being addressed - No transparency and communication between teams, managers, and employees - Insufficient feedback and recognition, despite going above and beyond in your position

Pros

Raketech is fully remote and offers a great onboarding experience. When I started working at Raketech I really enjoyed it, but things just got gradually worse and worse.

Cons

There is no company strategy. I've seen four or five major changes in a year. These structural strange put huge stress on employees and make work unpredictable with changing directions. There is no yearly raise as a default. If you go above and beyond in your role, you could get 2% as a raise, not caring about market prices. Their salaries are also very low.
