Pros: My recruiter, Michelle Hayes, was very helpful and kept in constant communication all throughout the process. I landed multiple offers, but Michelle worked closely with the comp team, and Roku beat all my offers for senior engineer at top startups. She is definitely an advocate and champion for candidates who truly cares about Roku and the experience for candidates. * Competitive compensation packages * Smart coworkers * Lots of room for growth * Market leader in the US * Commuter benefit * Free food * Excellent benefits

Cons: Hybrid work model (if you live in a busy city)

Pros: Great culture, interesting technical issues.

Cons: Stock has been too low for years.

Pros: Engineer-style company, very skilled at squeezing vendors. The vendors working with Roku have it tough.

Cons: I think most engineers at Roku have a passion for coding. We spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel—Roku’s IPC, LMK, and so on. Because I prefer open-source solutions, sometimes I wonder: Are these engineers’ designs really as battle-tested as open-source projects that have gone through countless iterations? Do they truly understand these systems, or are they just trying to earn some credit in front of their managers?
