Process
The phone interviewer arrived late to the interview and started asking random questions. After about 30 minutes, they began asking coding questions without using HackerRank, requesting solutions to be solved in Notepad. This was an unprofessional interview experience. The vibe was not good, and the interviewer made no genuine attempt to help.
Avoid this.

Pros: Roku's no-nonsense culture appeals to someone who wants to focus on a job well done. It has high trust and high responsibility baked right in. That means that every employee must think strategically, entrepreneurially, and often unconventionally. As a Roku employee, you can trust your coworkers and the organization to support you, help you when you need it, and celebrate your successes.
Cons: The learning curve is steep, but well worth the effort.

My best workplace so far
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
October 4, 2024
Pros: Great people and culture, interesting and challenging projects, very competitive salaries.
Cons: Being a public company, it has to take into account expectations of the stock market players (often irrational) and sometimes to prioritize them over what is better for the company mid-term (in my humble opinion).
