Rocket Software reviews

Salary is (well) below market rate. Once you are in Rocket there are no payrises. This is something the CEO seems proud of. HR is of the nature 'The problem is with you, not us'. This gets tiring Outlook is grim. Sales declining. No sensible plan to reverse this

The executive team has no expertise in managing software development. It's ironic, since all have some amount of Fortune 500 tech company pedigree... particularly IBM. If that culture suits you, you'll do well. If you come from HP, EMC, Cisco, then beware. You will not fit in. New projects are simple rehashes of old ones. There is NO outside-the-box thinking here. Most products are 3-4 revisions behind their competition. Some product divisions are intentionally operated at a loss. These are not loss leaders, btw. There is no strategy on resource or technology sharing, resulting in lots of redundant efforts. A lack of coordination on initiatives involving multiple teams often results in delays or postponements on feature rollouts. The culture does not promote creativity, engineering quality, or applying best practices. Performance reviews are new to Rocket, so don't expect much there. The company has also never done an employee satisfaction survey.
