Business outlook
Pros
- company growth is insane. now is the time to join and be a part of something exciting and huge
- there is a strong push for autonomy and owning your work (huge plus for me)
- people are all around great people
- perks are solid
Cons
- a lot of technical debt and catching up to do all around (including processes and general workflow in non-eng capacities). This could be a plus if you like these challenges and want to impact / help scale a company.

Thank you for your thorough feedback. We appreciate your perception that some of these areas for improvement are challenges for the right professionals - and that’s why we’re proud to emphasize autonomy and hiring quality folks that can enjoy our benefit package. That said, we’re committed to continuously refine processes and workflow, while catching up on any technical debt and welcome any further insights at feedback@roblox.com.
Total compensation is top of the market.
Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.
Cons
Chaotic management.
Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless.
Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
