Rockend Technology Reviews

Rockend Technology is a funny beast of a Company as it is; - A family run business started in the 1970's. - Its latest piece of Software was released nearly a decade ago. - It's most popular piece of Software is coming up to its 30th Birthday! - Innovation and Creativity are distant memories for a once magnificent specimen. - Diversity is not their strong suit, similar to their industry (Real Estate not Software) - I have never met more white middle aged (or older) people at a RSL let alone in a Software company. - They have a culture of Drug Use. - They pretend to hold the Customer at the centre of their Business but really they are just trying to keep the status-quo and in a Modern, Technology Driven environment it's like taming a Wild Bore – Good Luck! - Management has brought in new pig pens and restraints to try and keep their litter behaving but also that seems to be futile (with Piglets escaping each and every day). - Senior Management have their heads in the clouds and need to refresh their 3 word slogans, personality and their expectations for the Business. - Also their understanding of how actual ‘Technology’ works and should operate in a normal way is deplorable, systems and processes break-down daily providing a poor experience for the customer and also the staff. - Due to the habituation with the failures of systems and management they should really develop a "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" model (the shame is too much to bare). - Finally Rockend Technology Job Role Descriptions, Employee Benefits, Remuneration, Work life Balance are always exaggerated.

I genuinely don't know where to start... I feel as though this list has been rehashed over and over again by all recent reviews but here we go: They sell people the dream when trying to get them onboard. - "We have so many great benefits" (many of which we will discontinue and then tell you that have no right to complain as they don't actually form part of your contract) - "We are all about training and employee growth within the business" (but you will soon see us dissolve the current management team and hire externally for all positions. You will also see people who have worked for the business for years apply for these roles and be overlooked/outright ignored) - "The culture here is so great - we are one big team" (but please don't tell us if you are being bullied - we probably won't address the issue and will make you feel like maybe you should go if you're not happy here. Yes, we know we have had lots of bullying complaints about that same person - but what do you want us to do about it?) - "The CEO is really hands on - this is a family owned business, after all" (yes, he will pop up every now and then with his big plan. Although, it's not a plan... it's an elongated buzzword. And you will be expected to contribute, but no one will tell you how unless you're doing it wrong)
