Pros: Novice engineers wait to be told what to do and how to do it. Junior engineers are told what to do and figure out how to do it, with help from their manager. Senior engineers figure out what needs to be done and convince their manager it's a priority. Their manager trusts that they will figure out how to do it and coordinate with others as necessary. Roku hires this type of senior engineer. They're fun to work with because the culture values engineers that want other engineers to succeed. Good managers (most) at Roku don't spend time directing their team. They coordinate with other managers, remove roadblocks, solve problems, and advocate. This leaves engineers free to identify where they can best add value.

Cons: Nits: no 401K match or ESPP

Pros: You can get reasonable pay.

Cons: You will be laid off soon.

Pros: Roku is a decent company. From the executive team to the team member, they try to help you succeed. The company's policies make quite a bit of sense. There are not many good companies like Roku in Silicon Valley; I have been here for more than twenty years.

Cons: I don't see it yet so far.
