Roku

As well as offering a good salary and benefits, Roku has an excellent culture. I have not seen any office politics nor competition between teams. The hierarchy is relatively informal and relatively level. If you ask questions, you will usually receive a helpful answer.

As a software engineer, it's sometimes necessary to communicate with people in California, which means working around an 8-hour time difference. There is a new company-wide policy of spending three days a week in the office, despite this having minimal benefit for those whose team is in another office.

There have been three rounds of layoffs in the past year (largely in the US), which has hurt morale somewhat and gives the impression that the company was not prepared for the recent rise in interest rates.
