A Great Place For Developers - Web Developer Rockfish Interactive Employee Review

Pros

The Work: You'll most likely never work on the same type of project twice. Every project provides great challenges and good opportunities to implement new tech. The company is full of knowledgeable developers with varying backgrounds. You get to work with other people that are passionate about development. Your career path is what you make it. There are a lot of opportunities for growing your career. The Office: The dress code is casual. The hours are pretty flexible. The people are nice. There are lots of common interests among the employees. Gamers frequently play games during lunch or after work. There are lots of randomly celebrated holidays (eat ice cream for breakfast day, May the 4th, National Talk Like a Pirate day, etc).

Cons

This place is not for everyone. You have to be able to pull your own weight around here. People that can't cut it usually try to smear the company's reputation by claiming all employees are elitists, or we fire people like crazy for no reason. This is pretty far from the truth. Turnover has been really low over the last few years. Not as many internal projects/apps to contribute to when work is slow. Like all jobs, there is drama and politics, but it can be easily ignored if you don't get involved or ignore it.

Pros

- Change - Self-starter environment - Brilliant, good people you can constantly learn from and grow alongside - Challenging, innovative, exciting work on top brands - Trust & flexibility: Work from home, as needed PTO - Choose your own adventure: Rockfish is extremely accommodating to those who show grit and initiative and dedication. If you want a new challenge, want to try on a new hat, you'll get the opportunity if you worked for it - Excellent leadership and culture in Business Innovations (Client Services) group - Beer at work - Casual environment (fart jokes boost morale, it's scientifically proven)

Cons

- Volatility driven by unpredictable market/industry changes - High-pressure environment, need to be comfortable with high(ish) stakes work if you want to advance here - Not a place to get comfortable in a routine, so if that's your goal don't work here - Summer camp/college dorm-like activities intended to "build culture" like marshmallow eating contests and trivia. Totally fine, but don't make people feel like they don't love Rockfish and their teams because they don't value this.

This is fair and honest feedback; thank you for providing. Your advice to management is something we find especially valuable and we will consider every bit of input you've provided. And if you don't want to eat marshmallows, I promise we won't make you. Thanks for sharing your experience of what it's like to work at Rockfish.
