Pros

Passionate employees and positive business outlook. Most of the interesting problems one might solve as engineer here are still up for grabs. Personal initiative to snag that one cool project is rewarded, and I feel my manager and director are investing heavily in my career success. CEO and VPs are very open to company-scale feedback and even as a relatively new person my input has been taken seriously and often acted on immediately. I've been able to have a major effect on the company's direction. It has been a great place to get my career started.

Cons

We're growing as a company and the organizational changes keep you on your toes. What was once tribal knowledge among tens of devs has had to be taught to hundreds.

Thank you for your comprehensive review of your experience here at Roblox! We're so glad that it has been as intended: flatly self-organized, with opportunities to have an impact on the direction of the company, as well as all the great challenges you're hoping to get your hands on. Keep up the good work!

Worst Place to work

Pros

- Kitchen is stocked - Lunch provided

Cons

- Managers intention is not to grow Employees. Lots of politics and if you can play that well, this place wont be suffocating. - Micro Management - Funnily when i left, I spoke to HR and told them the reason I am leaving is my manager and the response I got was "You are the 3rd person leaving for the same reason" - They dont do anything to change the culture of the place. But when they are interviewing you, they provide this amazing picture of the company and culture which is not true. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
