Working at Roku is pretty great. You manage a lot of your own time, and there are daily scrum meetings to keep you updated with your development team. The people here help each other, and there is a very flat structure in terms of who decides what's most important in coming scrum sprints. As an intern, you can take on big and small assignments, and the things you develop will be a part of the codebase after code reviews.
The Company is great because it is so free. But this is also a double-edged sword. The company is quite big, so who does what, and who is in charge of maintaining and guarding against regression is sometimes a little unclear. However, the company is aware of this and is working to solve it.
A pinch of top-down decisions on how things should evolve would do the company good, due to its large size.
Applied via referral. The hiring manager reached out, and we had an online interview. I never heard back from the recruiter afterwards. This did not give me a lot of confidence in the company, so I accepted another offer.
I had an initial screening, which went fine. I was told I would receive an invitation to the additional coding rounds. At that point, the recruiter ghosted me, and the interviews were never scheduled.
2-stage behavioral and technical with 2 different people. - Behavioral asked hypothetical technical questions and previous experience. - Technical had 2 coding exercises and 5 quick-fire questions. Overall, good experience.
