A good place to work
A good place to work
autonomy and control to get the job done. Low process and meeting overhead. Everyone is willing to share their expertise if you get stuck. No politicking or empire building. When deadlines are tight, management behave sensibly (push the deadline out, reduce the scope, add people to the project) rather than make people work silly hours. Everyone is focused on the big picture (we all succeed if the products succeed). Interesting technical challenges.
We're only making streaming TV, not saving the world.
It's not the most diverse workplace, but it is trying to improve.
I didn't want to make the step up to being a manager at Roku, as I felt the level of responsibility and exposure was too high.
You've built a great culture. Keep up the good work, especially around improving diversity.
