Pros

Great concept and application Good staff and smart people Pleasant work environment

Cons

Like most online game companies the life work balance is wonky. Some changes as their core workers grow up and more have families. They really need to look at their QA prices session and actually create a team to QA things beyond having the programmers check their own code

Pros

This is the most professional gaming company I have ever worked at, David, Keith, Matt everyone just oozes profesionnalism. None of that big ego stuff you find at other gaming companies, at Roblox people come to work to do their best and to be efficient at doing it. The Roblox game environment is a 24x7 host solution and yet OT hardly ever occurs why? Because the system was engineered to be robust and scalable, and what is probably even more important the alert and notification system doesn't bug you at first sign of problems, it actually has some intelligence to it such that you only get paged when things are really suspect/bad.

Cons

Not sure if I should put it down as a 'con' but Roblox is still a young start-up their policies and benefits are not as elaborate as you will find at other companies.

Thank you for your thorough review. We’re glad you had the experience we aimed for, and you were no doubt a big part of paying that forward for your colleagues. We’re proud of our platform and the people behind it - and have since matured into a formidable opponent to established, larger companies. Thank you for your help with that!
