My dream come true

Recommend

Pros

I've been a member of the Roblox community for over 10 years, and getting to contribute to the platform as an engineer is a dream come true! The atmosphere here is very relaxed and vibrant. There's plenty of heads-down work, but it's also common to see people gathered in the snack room for a lively conversation. The work-life balance here is great.

Cons

It's unclear to me where my career is headed, and the bay area is very expensive. Roblox pays well, but I'm only barely profiting while living here.
