Akin to a toxic relationship

Pros

Roblox offers competitive pay and benefits. There's a lot of room for product improvements which leaves room for fun and impactful challenges if you get the chance to ever work on them. I think the HR/People team really care about employees and a good work culture, but it doesn't work.

Cons

Those fun and impactful projects that we all want to work on to move the company forward are like a door at the end of an ever growing hallway. You are strung along. They will never happen. The environment is very toxic with excessively anxious managers who project their anxiety to their reports and colleagues. If you're lucky you get a manager who learned to manage healthily from another company, but most of us get managers who will gaslight you, create a blame culture and talk to you very unprofessionally. They don't respect boundaries and they will expect perfection from you. Anything you do that is not perfect can be turned against you. Additionally, it takes forever to get anything done. There is almost no supporting infrastructure to help make people more productive. It's also a work environment that values constant context switching and distractions. The upside is that they made reorganizations to start putting more competent people in higher management positions. The downside is that it's very, very slow...

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. There are some good people there. Company still has some safe islands where ppl respect each other.

Cons

The company is almost a perfect opposite of “extreme ownership”. Leadership is immature for the challenges it’s facing and it’s not strong enough to admit it and learn. This ends in deep insecurities, politics and BS at almost all the levels of the company. Blame is passed left and right. To hide the incompetence leadership plays out their rank and forces decisions down the chain, rarely explaining their why and not giving any chances for people who are executing the command to provide any input to the plan.
