Rokt has insanely bad culture ive heard but

thorny shore
twilit shadow
#

Absolutely obliterates raytheon in terms of pay

#

I got rokt oa a really long time ago and read into the culture and never did the oa

thorny shore
#

whatever but yea i am def aware

#

but im not returning

#

and can survive poor culture as an intern

thorny shore
#

even tho its really high ofc

twilit shadow
#

Yea rokt pays faang level

#

I think nyc would be a better experience

#

R u soph or junior

thorny shore
#

soph

#

so intern big tech recruiting is goal next cycle

gaunt sigil
#

Do raytheon no need to optimize for pay at this point

#

just recognition

thorny shore
thorny shore
#

thats what im thinking

#

its difficult tho

#

to decide

gaunt sigil
#

Idk why u keep stressing middle of nowhere

twilit shadow
#

Raytheon sounds cooler i admit

gaunt sigil
#

that’s all defense

#

somewhere in kansas

#

Big tech just wants some real company on ur res

#

For intern recruiting

#

Hes soph

#

ngl i’ve never heard of rokt

#

raytheon is a good name for resume but it sounds like cheeks based on what u said

thorny shore
#

yea i shouldve placed less emphasis on loc in my post. obviously i should be prioritizing future recruiting

viral thistle
#

like tons of good pipelines

#

but ur project is also way more likely to be shit

#

defense projects are so bad usually lmao

thorny shore
viral thistle
#

i didn’t even pick it ngl it was my only choice

#

yeah lowkey i was pulling way above my weight last year with processes compared to this year

#

like lockheed passed more resume screens than lockheed + virtu + nvidia

#

idk i shouldve done that

#

bc now i’m like 9 internships in and can still barely build anything

#

haven’t done a single internship where i got a cool project with transferable skills

#

u are too tbh ur schools name gaps everything on my resume except maybe my incoming internship

#

i’ve met people from ur school who didn’t recruit at all until junior year and landed insane shit

thorny shore
#

almost all of rokts staff is ex faang too

#

work might be higher caliber

#

i definitely have a personal bias towards the idea of being in nyc for the summer but yea idk

#

raytheon ml swe is prolly far better for recruiting outside of adtech/ecommerce space

viral thistle
#

like meta and google

#

and amazon

#

u should check where previous rokt interns ended up

#

Buddy ur at cmu

#

It def has an advantage

#

School rank doesnt bar u from opportunities but a high rank will certainly give a large advantage

#

Or does anyone know what the beahvioral questions are for rokt? I have to answer 3 via Hireflix, any insight would be greatly appreciated

thorny shore
#

if i got to TM stage at google or meta, Rokt would probably be elite for any ads or user ml team

#

but rokt wouldnt necessarily help me get there

#

🤷‍♂️

gaunt sigil
#

holy yap

#

congrats on raytheon

#

hmm

thorny shore
#

got nasa too

#

but its full stack web/data work so prolly not taking unless anyone tells me nasa name mogs

twilit shadow
#

Nasa name indeed does not mog

#

Afaik

#

It sounds cool to normies

#

But in tech its not prestige whatsoever

#

Raytheon and rokt mog nasa

thorny shore
#

right
my family is like holy shit nasa 💀
im like nah

twilit shadow
#

Yea LMAO

#

Nasa is like max prestige for non tech people

#

U tell them google or nasa and theyll say “hmm tough decision”

thorny shore
#

i got boring company reachout 💀 should i go for it
idk why they're still recruiting for this summer i applied like 3 months ago

twilit shadow
#

Boring company wtf

#

Ive never even heard of them hiring swe interns

thorny shore
#

lol

sonic falcon
#

Do not do Raytheon lmfao

#

First year you're just gonna be waiting for your clearance

#

i interned at raytheon

#

lots of ppl waiting for clearances and just doing certifications

#

very program dependant but yeah

#

also like so hard to grow in your career

#

ya ofc

#

Oh LMFAO

#

alt discord?

#

why

viral thistle
#

i got lockheed offer in march and had clearance by my mid may start date

#

depends on whether u need ts/sci etc or just secret

#

but i doubt it’s gonna be more than secret

thorny shore
thorny shore
#

but my family and a lot of friends hear NASA and find it crazy, wonder if humanities majors recruiters will be the same

sonic falcon
#

i got submitted in April and got my clearance in January

viral thistle
#

lower pay less cool work

#

better name but like

#

im pretty sure tech companies know nasa isn’t allat

thorny shore
#

yea

#

man im still stressing so hard over this shit 💀

#

definitely leaning raytheon but rokt seems so cool

#

did u do before

#

im trying to hear as many perspectives as possible

#

ur not the first to tell me those things tho

#

this shit is so confusing !!

#

ty for telling me that tho

#

im just afraid rokt is even weaker of a name as it looks like a random startup to 90% of recruiter

#

s

#

optimistically

#

and rtx work is ML pipelining + embedded stuff

#

which could be strong for future

#

imma have to rethink through everything today
