Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Karat coding interview screen. The Karat interviewer was amazing and facilitated a smooth process. I then proceeded to the virtual onsite.
The interviewers were a group of young individuals who seemed smart in their roles. I had good conversations with them. The questions were medium/easy, and it took me some time to implement one of the questions correctly. All other interviews seemed to have gone pretty well.
The recruiter mentioned they would get back to me the next day regarding an executive round but never replied. I sent an email asking if they wanted to proceed, as I had another offer to respond to, but the recruiter never replied.
They seem to have utter disregard and disrespect for candidates, to the point where they don't even care to respond. I would suggest choosing a different company, purely based on the attitude of the employees and recruiter. Roblox may have a short success run, but they are not built for the long term with the right values.

- 5.0High-growth, high-learning environment that demands that I continuously up my gameSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Mateo, California, United StatesFebruary 2, 2012Pros: Very fun product, amazing group of peers, diverse technology stack, and a broad range of problems to solve and opportunities to pursue. ROBLOX is a real meritocracy, where hard work, passion, and results win over everything else. You're constantly learning, and constantly improving. People are well rewarded and praised. I see some negative comments on this site about retention, but retention has been great from what I see, and we've doubled in size in less than one year.Cons: I think there are downsides for those who cannot adapt quickly, who are not flexible, or who are not able to consistently deliver. For these people, ROBLOX can be a challenge. ROBLOX can also be a tough place for those uncomfortable with a narrowly focused, highly iterative approach -- employees must be able to tolerate off-scope ideas being placed on the sidelines, and having interim results being "works in progress". From what I hear, ROBLOX is no different than other dynamic and successful tech companies.
