Pros

THERE ARE NO PROS ABOUT WORKING AT ROBLOX!!!

Cons

In the job description they said they would offer free snacks. On the other hand... I walk to the kitchen and find no snacks whatsoever...

Toxic environment with no job security

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Campus location is decent. Userbase is engaged. Kids love Roblox.

Cons

Toxic culture. Poor work-life balance. Backstabbing and politics. Desk space is cramped and limited. People treated poorly, as if replaceable. Employees fired regularly without notice. Too much churn. Managers are aggressive, confrontational, micromanagers. Leaders don't inspire by example, preferring to rely on authority and order people around. No learning or growth. Results prioritized over improvement. Lots of people just here for pay, or H-1B visa sponsorship. Few native speakers. Few people genuinely care about their work. Low morale.
