I found them on LinkedIn while searching by my preferred tech stack. I didn't even know how big they were or how impressive their offer could be.

A very typical tech screening to virtual onsite process, nothing remarkable I can remember. On the plus side, I was interviewed by people on the hiring team.

Michelle Hayes was my Roku recruiter. I want to specifically highlight her role in my hiring process. In the offer stage, it felt like she worked for me and not for the company. She actually got me the kind of offer I didn't know was possible for me and then improved on it.

One thing which didn't matter to me one bit but might to other people: The offer I got was eye-watering. The moment I saw it, nothing else mattered. But the deadline on it was much shorter than a week. So, line up your ducks accordingly.

One last thing I want to mention now that my onboarding is complete: It is a public company which is sizable and growing. But it doesn't feel like a stereotypical large Bay Area company with constant political brainwashing and culture hostile to normal people. From what I have seen so far, people come to work to actually build software instead.

No dynamic programming-style nonsense. The interviews had been so reasonable that only when I got the offer did I recognize how big the company was.
