Pros: Environment that encourages growth and ownership Competitive Pay and Benefits Strong emphasis on Work-Life balance

Cons: Ownership can get muddy as development teams staff up and down within the company. Inter-team communication can always use improvement.

Pros: There is lots of interesting, impactful work. The product is very tangible. Financials and the future outlook are very good. Everyone is friendly and approachable. Lots of talented people. Too good to be true compensation, PTO policy, and benefits for new grads.

Cons: Only one US location (San Mateo).

Pros: Extraordinary technology--for instance, any one of the thousands of games on the Roblox platform could have players on Xbox, a tablet device, iPhone, Android, desktop, etc. It's amazing. A few days ago, I saw a cutting-edge multiplayer game re-implemented on Roblox with astonishing fidelity. The developers who build this technology are sitting all around me--that's perhaps the best thing. Another: it is run by adults. Not by a 25-year-old Stanford drop-out who just wants to be famous. The codebase here was created deliberately with tender loving care by masters. As a result, there seems to be astonishingly little technical debt--e.g., on the Roblox blog, you can read about major upgrades to the core game components (the physics engine). This would be impossible without a rock-solid codebase.

Cons: about 325 people. There is some bureaucracy, but if you are coming from a larger org, you might have the opposite impression.
