Pros
has free food, full health insurance. also a sleeping area. essentially allows employees to live in the office 24/7 most people are smart, hired through an excessively unnecessarily long process. creating a breeding ground for other firms to hire from when they get fed up with the company.
Cons
fear culture: people are scared to speak to the principle, because you might get eaten up alive by his interrogation, and create more work for yourself. the principle is impatient, and he doesn't have time for most things, and yet wants to micro manage the business, due to inherent lack of trust on staff. blame culture: in order to survive at rokos, you have to save yourself via throwing others under the bus, no one is willing to say sorry because if you do, you will be crucified. top management serves to please the principle, when there is feedback to the management, the reply is to sort it out yourself because they don't want to be involved. lots of team heads are expensive project managers hired from banks(read: political animals) who maintain a spreadsheet of 'book of work', and do nothing themselves. senior management are all ex bank sales.
