Pros

I have worked for several companies, from startups to mega-corporations, and Roku is by far the best place I have worked at.

I guess we got lucky with the IPO and stock growth, but even without these, Roku is the best place to work.

  • Non-political culture
  • Talented co-workers: humble, nice, and self-starters
  • Free food, salad/sandwich bar, snacks, and drinks
  • Freedom to execute! Your ideas are valued
  • Nice office location (both in Los Gatos and the new office in San Jose)
  • Amazing growth. Fast-paced, this comes with some pain but, at the same time, it is fun.
Cons

No 401K match.

Medical and dental benefits are expensive.

No bonuses, but stock growth compensates for that.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing. Now that we are a public company, perhaps we can improve the benefits.

Employee morale events would be nice (offsite events, not on-campus barbecues).
