Pros
  • Compensation is high.
  • Engineers are great, both technically and as people.
  • Some of the engineering work is interesting.
Cons

Leadership (C-Suite specifically) is poor. They will lie and break promises for short-term gains while touting they are "taking the long view." Focus seems to be whatever Dave wants as opposed to what the company actually needs.

Remote work is no longer an option. Previous employees who were pre-approved to work remotely were forced to come back to HQ or take severance.

Advice to Management

Roblox should focus less on whatever the CEO wants and more on what it should actually focus on.
