They fire on the spot. Sometimes, entire groups
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Mateo, California, United States
July 17, 2019
Pros: Fair compensation. High hopes if you survive there.
Cons: They fire people on the spot. That is, without due process, a review, a reason, or a warning. They can use any reason to fire you.
A new manager can fire an entire group.
Technology is an old, proprietary stack that requires lots of extra maintenance hours. It is easy to make a mistake.
If you make a mistake (see above).
Please don't speak against management.

My dream come true
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Mateo, California, United States
August 13, 2018
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.
