Pros

Be a hero to kids everywhere.

Own a product and make a difference. Basically, every team has more problems than people. So, whatever you build will eventually become a world-class version of that "thing." And you get to make it happen.

Core values that are actually valued. They're on the company-issued mugs. People actually talk about them in meetings, in interviews, in performance reviews, and when making important decisions.

Cons

As a new employee, you can end up "swimming in the deep end" for a while. Roblox is an incredibly complex product with over 10 years of legacy decisions and systems. It's a lot to absorb.

Advice to Management

Invest more in core services.

IT & Tooling teams are woefully understaffed. New staff onboarding is still painful.
