Your company review is very important to us. We’re interested in both the things we do well and the things we can do better to achieve the greatness we’re known for. Communication is a key practice at Roblox, and we’ll continue to strive toward alignment around company goals at all levels of the organization.

Pros

Roblox is a very comfortable place to work at. All usual stuff that you may see at other successful companies are present: snacks, paid meals, flexible/unlimited vacation, 401K matching etc. Personally I chose Roblox over facebook and google not only because I got a better (or matching) offer from Roblox, but also because I felt that I'd be lost in a huge army of Facebook/Google employees possibly working on something not so important. At Roblox I work now on something that instantly affects entire platform and tens of millions of players and I like that. At google/facebook I'd be getting shares that can be sold for cash any moment, however their value is unlikely to increase tenfold over 4 years. With the way Roblox grows I'm fairly confident value of my options will increase more than 10-x over 4 years of vesting period. Yes, Roblox is not a public company, but it's on a good trajectory to become one: we grow consistently over multiple years in revenue, in user count and retention; Roblox just started to expand worldwide and we have a good CEO and top leadership team. I've been at Roblox just a bit less that 2 years and I'm happy that I chose Roblox over all other options when I decided to move to SF Bay area.

Cons

Perhaps our release cycle isn't something that I'm happy to deal with or our versioning system. Some senior managers are afraid/not willing to try some ideas, e.g. Roblox is not a small agile start up anymore. So, join us and help us make it better!

Pros

Be a hero to kids everywhere. Own a product and make a difference. Basically every team has more problems than people. So whatever you build will eventually get to be a world-class version of that "thing". And you get to make it happen. Core values that are actually valued. They're on the company-issued mugs. People actually talk about them in meetings, in interviews, in performance reviews and when making important decisions.

Cons

As a new employee, you can end up "swimming in the deep end" for a while. Roblox is an incredibly complex product with over 10 years of legacy decisions and systems. It's a lot to absorb.

We value your feedback as it helps us to refine the employee experience. You’re so right about the values driving the amazing work we get to do every day, and our developer and user communities do see our team as heroes - for good reason.
