The best way to describe Roku’s interview process is shambolic and weird.

I have never come across an interview where I was expected to solve Professor Layton-style puzzle questions. It's almost embarrassing.

There were no easy questions to begin with either, and the interviewer kept talking so much that nothing made sense. I felt embarrassed for anyone who had to put up with this.

In total, you might get more than four interviewers. Retrospectively, out of the handful of senior people at Roku I was interviewed by, only one person stood out. This individual really wanted to work there, which goes to show it's quantity over quality with Roku.

This is a summary of what I experienced at Roku’s interview:

• No one knew what they were talking about.
• Trick questions throughout.
• Everyone is a senior.
• They're better than you are, so don't bother stating they are wrong.
• The amount of waffling is unbearable and cringy.

Welcome to Roku.

The best part is, I can now tell every good candidate to avoid Roku with the experience I just received and any bad candidates to refer them to Roku.

Honestly, the interview process is built up with trick questions.

Prepare for the worst-case scenario. Might as well study up on rocket science while you're there.
