Roku is a great place to work and make an impact, [which has been the] longest tenure in my career to date
Great people - smart, driven, friendly/personable, and helpful.
Open and transparent, provides lots of context to employees.
Light-weight processes, get stuff done without the politics.
Great business model (all TV will be streamed, ad-supported content is tried and true, ecosystem allows partners to flourish and Roku to reap benefits of the subscription model as well).
Engineering-driven culture - CEO is an engineer, company has hardware, embedded software, cloud/web, mobile, voice, audio, big data, AI/ML, and enterprise engineering.
Having worked at large (100k+ employees), medium (10k+), small (100+), and micro-sized (start-up of 4) companies, Roku has been the best place to work.
Excellent pay - cash is king!
California RTO restrictions – need to lighten up.
Not much opportunity for growth; people hired for a specific job.
10x company personnel growth makes it hard to maintain the culture.
Continue to innovate, which will be key to our success as a technology company. Stay the course with a focus on leading the TV streaming market and technical innovation on TV sets and players. Don't spread ourselves too thin trying to do too much, acting like a big company with the limited personnel we have, or diluting our culture.

I applied online. After 2-3 weeks, a recruiter contacted me and scheduled my interview. He sent an email stating there would be two technical interviews. We would have to do live coding using the HackerRank platform.
