Senior QA Manager Interview Experience - Los Gatos, California
Process
This was one of the best interview experiences in recent times. The interview process was simple: a quick phone call with the recruiter, a detailed phone interview with the engineering director, and finally, onsite interviews. All of this was completed in less than 10 days.
The recruiter was very helpful in providing details about the role and the required skills. The recruitment team was quick in coordinating interview schedules and even accommodated a last-minute change in schedule because I fell sick.
The interviewers were well-prepared. I gained confidence in the team based on their attitude during the interview, and the technical and non-technical discussions we had helped me decide if this was the company and team I wanted to join.
One of the best aspects of the interview was receiving feedback within two hours after the onsite interviews. I was given the offer the next day.
Overall, Roku seems to be a very good company with great recruitment and technical teams.

Roku Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to work. The CEO has visionSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeLos Gatos, California, United StatesNovember 18, 2019Pros: Pays well. The CEO thinks of the long-term goals, yet still looks at the everyday use cases and functionality. Free food, backdoor 401k.Cons: Busy (but for the pay you expect it), no 401k match, expensive insurance.
- 5.0Best collaborative environmentDirector of Engineering • Current EmployeeLos Gatos, California, United StatesJanuary 26, 2019Pros: The company has managed to maintain its startup culture, with teams directly responsible for what they work on. People get to work and decide on items directly affecting product and customers. Unlike in larger companies, there are no annual reviews; instead, people are encouraged to provide direct feedback to each other.Cons: Your salary is all yours -- you are paid in cash rather than in benefits, so your salary tends to be higher than most other places. Salary reviews are frequent, but promotions are not. Teams each set their own style, so your manager matters.
- 5.0A Dynamic CultureDirector of Engineering • Current EmployeeLos Gatos, California, United StatesFebruary 25, 2016Pros: Roku gets a lot done with a relatively small staff. The company focuses on top talent when it comes to hiring. For example, in Engineering, coding ability isn't enough. A solid candidate needs to be a creative problem solver, confident to explain decisions to others, self-organized, and motivated to win. Good candidates are often passed up for great candidates. That great talent pays off for Roku, giving Apple, Amazon, and Google a run for their money in the streaming technology space. Roku can be considered a tough place to work for those who are quiet and prefer to work in a corner, out of sight. Like Netflix, Apple, Facebook, and Google, Roku expects a lot from everyone hired. But the rewards are worth it. Working with top talent is a relief. Working with the latest in streaming technology and building out the future of entertainment can't be beat. Roku is a very rewarding workplace with a fantastic and friendly culture. I have enjoyed my last two years at Roku and am looking forward to any more.Cons: The company is very dynamic and fast-paced, where there's a lot of responsibility placed in everyone's hands. Anyone that likes the slower 9-to-5 pace of a large corporation is not going to be happy. There are also occasional re-orgs that shift teams around. Again, those who prefer stability won't fit in.
