Pros

The pay is decent. They say “top of market”, but that’s only true of SWE positions.

Cons

Where do I start? - Worst hiring practices I’ve seen in my 15 year career. - Leadership doesn’t talk about uncomfortable truths. - Sociopathic need to get everyone back into the office. Ironic for a supposed metaverse company. - Very top down management. - Constantly changing goals. - The worst leaders hire clones of themselves. - Poor diversity. - Inability to execute on large scale projects. - Not living our own values. “Take the long view” is often ignored when discussing large engineering efforts.

Cool product, great eng culture, not much else

Pros

- Cool product with a great story as a company - Very smart employees - High retention, employees in tech roles are taken very well care of and generally seem to have more say-so at Roblox

Cons

- C-levels have overprocessed this company to death. Every day I felt like I received pushback from Director level and above (even as an an IC). Lower/middle management doesn't serve much purpose as the company follows processes dictated by the CEO, CTO, etc... Individuals (at least non-engineers) aren't given the opportunity to innovate and try new things as at the end of the day, their work is often rejected if it does not follow the established processes to the T. -Huge blame game. I know tons of smart people there that are great at their jobs, but are showing little results because of the boxes they are forced to work in. At end of quarter they then are blamed for low output and are told it's their fault, despite being hamstrung by senior leadership - AWFUL hiring bar (outright discriminatory practices pushed down by C-levels that the Talent team is forced to follow)
