Rokt Compensation & Benefits

Updated on October 26, 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

Base Pay & Bonuses

Rokt uses a transparent compensation structure that connects salary, performance incentives and equity to an employee’s role and level. Its company-wide Career Ladder shows employees the skills required for each position alongside the salary and equity associated with that level, giving people a clear view of how compensation can progress as their responsibilities grow. The ladder is reviewed quarterly to account for market and economic changes, helping keep pay aligned with external conditions rather than relying on infrequent adjustments. 

  • Pay is structured consistently across comparable roles: Employees doing the same job in the same location receive the same remuneration, and when compensation for a role changes, the adjustment applies to both existing and incoming employees in that position. This reduces the impact of individual salary negotiation and gives employees a clearer understanding of how their pay compares with others doing equivalent work. The Career Ladder also allows employees to see compensation at higher levels before they advance, connecting pay progression directly with increased skills and responsibility.
  • Compensation is reviewed regularly rather than only at annual checkpoints: Rokt reassesses its Career Ladder every quarter, including the salary and equity attached to each role. That cadence allows compensation to respond more quickly to changes in the labor market, inflation and other economic conditions. Employees moving into higher-level roles also receive the compensation attached to that new level, making advancement one of the clearest ways total rewards can grow over time.
  • Performance incentives add another layer to base pay: Depending on role and level, employees can participate in Rokt’s Short Term Incentive Program, while eligible commercial employees can participate in commission programs. Short-term incentives are generally determined at the end of each quarter and paid the following month, creating a regular connection between performance and additional compensation rather than relying solely on an annual bonus cycle.
  • Equity gives employees a longer-term financial stake: Employees can participate in the Rokt’star Stock Program, the company’s Long Term Incentive Program. New employees are typically invited into the program within their first three months, and after 12 months they can be considered for annual refresh grants. More than 20% of Rokt’s fully diluted stock is held by current and former employees, excluding founder ownership, making employee equity a meaningful part of the broader compensation structure.
  • External signals:
    • Compensation and benefits are one of Rokt’s strongest employee-review categories: Rokt receives a 4.2 out of 5 rating for compensation and benefits on Glassdoor. (Glassdoor)
    • Built In highlights multiple components of Rokt’s rewards structure: Its profile includes performance bonuses, equity, compensation transparency and retirement benefits among the company’s employee offerings. (Built In)

Bottom line: Rokt keeps pay competitive through quarterly compensation reviews, transparent role-based salary structures, performance incentives and broad employee equity participation. Employees can see how compensation changes as they advance, while bonus and stock programs provide additional ways to share in both individual performance and the company’s longer-term growth.

Perks & Benefits

Rokt offers a broad, modern benefits package focused on health coverage, time off, wellbeing support, and practical allowances—plus tools to make benefits easy to use.

Healthcare (US)

  • Medical, dental, and vision: In the US, medical + prescription coverage is through Anthem (Blue Cross Blue Shield), with two medical plan options: HDHP and PPO. Dental and vision are also provided through Anthem (dental PPO; vision with a VSP network).
  • Benefits concierge support: US employees have access to Bennie (app + on-demand concierge) for questions like plan comparisons, billing review, finding in-network providers, claims help, and open enrollment support.
  • HSA support (if enrolled in the HDHP): The Benefits Guide describes employer HSA contributions (amount varies based on coverage tier and whether you’re enrolled in dental/vision).

Retirement (US)

  • 401(k): Rokt uses ADP 401(k) for US retirement services
  • Financial advising: Financial advising support is available through Morgan Stanley 

Time off

  • PTO: Rokt’stars are eligible for 20 PTO days per year, accrued monthly. PTO accrual resets February 1 (start of Rokt’s fiscal year), and unused carryover is limited to 8 days (unless local law specifies otherwise).
  • Bonus PTO (“High 5 Days”): Eligible employees can earn up to 5 additional PTO days the following year if they end the prior fiscal year with 5 days of PTO or less (and meet eligibility criteria).
  • Holiday Shutdown: Rokt runs a company-wide Holiday Shutdown in late December/early January, designed for everyone to fully unplug.

Parental leave

  • Pregnancy Leave for birth parents and paid Parental Leave for all parents (including non-birth and adoptive parents), with rules about timing windows and how this runs alongside any government-paid leave where applicable.

  • Wellness allowance
  • Technology allowance
  • Learning & development and coaching programs

Rokt Employee Reviews

Rokt’s healthcare coverage gave us the freedom to choose the doctors and hospital we trusted — and we paid less than $1,000 for over a year of fertility care, prenatal visits, and delivery. That level of support is incredibly rare in the U.S.

The parental leave at Rokt was a total game-changer for my family. My team gave me the space to fully disconnect and be present — it’s rare to find a company that truly walks the talk on work-life balance.
