Pros

None; there are no longer any “Pros” to work here

Cons

It appears that NewRocket changed the CEO Glassdoor profile as an attempt to boost their rating. The current CEO is toxic. I worked for this company in a management position and, when they first started the company, there was an amazing CEO with a leadership team who truly cared about their employees. Since the new CEO took over, the work environment is toxic with a total lack of respect for employees. The current leadership team shows no interest in addressing employee concerns or fostering a healthy workplace culture. This used to be a company who believed that “People matter. Employees matter. You matter.” But no longer. Instead, they seem more focused on creating an atmosphere of fear, where communication is disorganized and confusing, and a complete lack of transparency regarding company decisions and changes. Employees are let go, seemingly for no reason - at the drop of a hat. The overall morale is extremely low, with many employees feeling undervalued and overworked. There is a high turnover rate, and it’s clear that the company struggles to retain talent due to its detrimental work environment. The lack of support and recognition makes it clear that employees are not valued. Dedication, tenure and exemplary performance - not valued. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking a positive and supportive work culture. This has become a challenging place to work, perhaps due to the large shift to do most of their hiring in India

Was disheartened to read this. You just haven't had the experience that I have had, or the other 400 crew members have had. For that I am sorry. Change can be very hard and even feel toxic when it is change that impacts you negatively, actually or via perception. We enjoy the involvement of 2 CEOs now as the former CEO remains an active board member, seller and enthusiast, and we have our new fearless leader building the next version of NewRocket. Unfortunately it seems you didn't feel that and for that I am aso sorry. Rest assured we are taking your words to heart. Thank you for replying and giving your opinion.

Pros

Flexible hours and my base salary is competitive Access to a lot of AI tools and learning content

Cons

This company has some of the worst leadership I’ve ever seen. There is no management layer. It is a bunch of individual contributors clustered with a reporting hierarchy but I have seen very little people management, development or general leadership qualities. Everyone is out for themselves and only cares about the flavor of the month to impress the new C suite. Exec turnover and general turnover has exacerbated this but it’s a culture issue. This company truly sucks. I would not recommend even if you are desperate. Wait a year until the VC sells it. The company has never turned a profit
