Frequently Asked Questions

Workload Sustainability

Rokt is committed to sustainable workloads and healthy work-life balance. The company sets clear norms around working hours, encourages full use of PTO, and supports flexibility through team-based arrangements. Workload and capacity are actively monitored as part of resource planning, and employees are empowered to take breaks, recharge, and adjust schedules when needed.

  • All permanent employees receive 20 PTO days per year, plus company-wide holidays and bonus “High Five” PTO days for those who use most of their leave.
  • Rokt promotes a minimum of four in-office days per week but enables team-level flexibility, including remote “flexibility weeks,” part-time options, and custom arrangements to fit personal needs.
  • Employees highlight managers’ respect for boundaries, reasonable project timelines, and clear prioritization as reasons workloads feel manageable.
  • Rokt offers a monthly wellness allowance, free access to the Modern Health platform, and mental health resources to support overall wellbeing.

To further support balance, Rokt has introduced initiatives like workload audits, no-meeting days, and expanded PTO programs. Employees are encouraged to speak with their People Leader about flexibility and to take time in lieu after intense work periods.

These practices are designed to ensure a healthy pace of work, reasonable expectations, and real balance between personal and professional life.

Flexibility Options

Rokt’s flexible work approach is built on team-level empowerment and clear company-wide expectations. Most teams co-design their working model, including in-office anchor days and flexibility weeks, to balance collaboration with personal needs. The standard is four in-office days per week, but teams can designate up to two “flexibility weeks” per year—when all members may work remotely. Custom arrangements (like part-time schedules or working from other Rokt offices) are available with manager approval.

  • Flexibility is tailored to each team’s mission and rhythm, ensuring fairness and alignment.
  • All Rokt’stars are expected to attend key events in person, but have access to remote work for special periods, summer holidays, or personal needs.
  • Rokt provides generous PTO, sabbaticals, and a Flexible Public Holiday Program to further support work-life balance.
  • Managers receive training to support flexible arrangements and ensure consistency across departments.

Employees highlight manager-approved remote days, formal hybrid frameworks, and location flexibility as proof that policies are lived, not just offered. Rokt regularly reviews and updates its guidelines to ensure flexibility remains consistent, equitable, and aligned with business goals.

Mental Health Support

Rokt invests holistically in employee wellbeing, offering a monthly wellness allowance, free access to the Modern Health platform (including 6 free therapy and 6 free coaching sessions per year), and a range of confidential mental health resources. Employees also benefit from structured recharge days, a generous PTO policy, and additional wellness perks.

  • All Rokt’stars receive a monthly wellness stipend for health-related activities .
  • Every employee has access to Modern Health, which provides 6 free therapy sessions, 6 free coaching sessions, unlimited group “Circles,” guided meditations, and self-help courses—all strictly confidential .
  • Rokt offers a global Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with confidential counseling, plus wellness and recharge days throughout the year.
  • US-based employees have access to One Medical for primary care and Kindbody and Maven for family-building and reproductive health support .
  • Wellness initiatives are reinforced by regular wellbeing events, published resources, and manager training.

Employees report that these programs help reduce stress, improve morale, and foster a healthy work-life balance. Rokt continually reviews and expands its wellbeing benefits in response to employee feedback, ensuring resources are accessible and stigma-free.

Mental Health Support

Rokt’s approach is built on flexibility, inclusion, and a holistic view of wellbeing. Flexibility is team-driven: each team co-designs its working model—including in-office anchor days, flexibility weeks, and collaboration hours—to balance high performance with personal needs. Custom arrangements (like part-time schedules or working from a different Rokt office) are available with People Leader approval.

Wellbeing extends beyond time off. Rokt offers:

  • Generous paid time off, bonus “High Five” PTO days, sabbaticals, and a two-week company-wide holiday shutdown.
  • Wellness stipends, mental health resources, and structured recharge days.
  • Employee Resource Groups, affinity groups, and social clubs that foster inclusion, connection, and fun.
  • A monthly wellness allowance and confidential support through Modern Health and EAP.

The culture encourages open dialogue about flexibility, boundaries, and wellbeing. Employees are empowered to speak up and adjust their working model as life changes, and managers are trained to support these needs.

Rokt’s philosophy: balance, belonging, and growth are not perks—they’re fundamental to how Rokt’stars work and thrive.

Rokt Employee Perspectives

Dan Wright has worked for, founded, or been part of fourteen different teams at Rokt over nearly ten years. He's currently a Vice President in the Operations and Solutions team. That breadth gives him an unusual vantage point on what makes Rokt work.

Someone who's moved through fourteen teams has seen a lot change. For Dan, that's exactly the point. "What I'm really proud of and always have been over the last ten years is what hasn't changed," he says. "That's the culture and the people."

That consistency shapes how he hires. Dan has built his teams around one principle: hire your next boss. "As I hire people, I try to hire the person who's better than me," he says. "Building a team of people who frankly you think are stronger than you in many, many aspects builds a great team."

Four years ago, he hired Jon Humphrey as a Director of Solutions. Six months in, sitting in a performance calibration with the executive leadership team, Dan started Jon's review with a joke: "I think I've just hired my boss." The room laughed. Dan didn't walk it back. "I went, no, I'm serious. I think Jon within the year is going to be my boss."

He was right. Jon became the VP of Operations & Solutions within a year, and is currently the SVP of Operations & Advertising. "He's just absolutely skyrocketed," Dan says. "For me, I think it's one of the proudest things I've done at Rokt, being involved in Jon's success."

That's how Dan measures his own performance as a leader: not only by his output, but by what the people around him go on to do. "Most of my work and focus as a leader has been in trying to make the people in the team successful. I love seeing people come into a team that I'm managing and go on and succeed. That's our job as leaders, bring in great people and set them up for success."
