Pros: Interesting product. Nice coworkers. Good pay.
Cons: As the company and tech stack has grown, we spend more and more time on process issues (setup tasks, tooling, broken builds, trying to understand old undocumented code, secret knowledge) and less time just building new features. Leadership reneged on its commitment to allow remote work. This shows a lack of respect, a lack of empathy, and a lack of integrity.

Pros: Fast-paced, yet in a good way. That is, without the bad aspects like "breaking things," people being jerks, or a poor work-life balance. Actually, we keep getting additional days off called "recharge days." Some are company-wide, and others are given when the team achieves something.
Cons: The cons of a company being at a growing stage, with evolving infrastructure and tooling. If you want Google-level tooling (I loved it when I was at Google), then you have to go to Google, or maybe Facebook. If you don't mind being scrappy while building something great, then come to Roblox.
