Business Outlook

Pros

Future outlook looks very good. Not much pressure from direct management as long as you do your job well. You will work on something unique that users love.

Cons

Even though it's located at the heart of San Mateo downtown the office looks a bit outdated for a tech company. It's difficult to push through ideas.

Thank you for your feedback. We continue to experience rapid growth with a bright future outlook, and we’re glad you love your work. Our old offices on 3rd Ave certainly painted the picture of a startup in growth mode, but lucky for us, we have since moved in to our new HQ just down the road - and we love it. If you’d like to share more insights, contact feedback@roblox.com.

Pros

Working on the future of play and entertainment. Great people. Big vision. Accelerating growth. Interesting market. Leverage from user generated content.

Cons

We are toolmakers more than content creators. Not the best place for people who want to be making games, unless they are interested in building the tools, infrastructure and environment where the ROBLOX dev communicty can build great games.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad you’re enjoying the work with great people and a big vision. Your clarification is important: Roblox builds the platform for developers to launch their game visions, and this opportunity provides a lot of great opportunities for professional growth and partnerships with innovative developers.
