Process

The process began with a take-home coding assignment, which was relatively straightforward.

This was followed by an on-site interview with three separate individuals from the engineering web applications team.

The on-site included a bit of whiteboarding and some system design discussion, along with extensive conversation about technology in general.

The recruiter was very helpful and transparent throughout the entire process, providing updates at each step.

Each interviewer was knowledgeable and kind.

As I was applying for a front-end role, the questions and discussion centered around practical knowledge rather than theoretical concepts.

Questions

Under NDA, but if you're applying for a front-end role, you should be able to write some fairly complex JavaScript on the whiteboard and study up on your practical knowledge.

Algorithmic-style questions are probably less important for this kind of role at Roku.
