Very competitive, a tough place, quick fire and go
OTT is a good place to be. Consumers are dropping cable at record speed and adopting OTT as their streaming preference. Roku is in the right place at the right time.
Tough working environment and culture. Less flexibility to innovate and think out of the box. Easy to navigate if you know how to manage upwards.
Quick hire and fire for minor issues. It's basically a swim or sink culture (as stated in previous reviews).
Roku has good potential, but its leaders have a conservative mentality.
Discourage a hire-and-fire culture.
