      Exciting Growth, be a hero to kids - Principal Software Engineer Roblox Employee Review

      Pros

      Be a hero to kids everywhere. Own a product and make a difference. Basically every team has more problems than people. So whatever you build will eventually get to be a world-class version of that "thing". And you get to make it happen. Core values that are actually valued. They're on the company-issued mugs. People actually talk about them in meetings, in interviews, in performance reviews and when making important decisions.

      Cons

      As a new employee, you can end up "swimming in the deep end" for a while. Roblox is an incredibly complex product with over 10 years of legacy decisions and systems. It's a lot to absorb.

      Pros

      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.
