Pros
Rocket is a growing company that has demonstrated to be able to adapt to new situations. The most remarkable thing about the company is the commitment of employees and upper management, including a team that has been here since the beginning and has brought the company to the place it is nowadays. It is more than biotech, this is a place for real Science, a team, their involvement with patients and families is amazing and a place where people really want to make a change in patients’ life. This amazing team shares great human values, and they demonstrate this with the implication that Rocket has with the rare disease community, in the US and abroad. Initially, it was a small company, many people needed to wear different hats, including upper management. Rather than a disadvantage, it is a place to professionally grow and where personal development, involvement, and participation are encouraged and welcomed. Upper management is approachable and responsive. With a clear focus on bringing the therapies to the patients, Rocket is building a great team full of great people and willing to make a change.
Cons
I do not think there is a perfect place, there are always things to improve. Growing takes some time and requires flexibility from everyone. The best thing is a positive atmosphere and the people that work here.
