Some pretty interesting work with actual real world impact. You’re not just building yet another social media app. Pay is good. Some really good engineers work here and internal tech is pleasant to work with
Not good WLB and company culture sucks. Culture is "high performance" and driven from the top (by Vlad). This has led to the ‘middle’ perf rating being high impact after they moved from five impact levels to three. There is always too much work to do and everything is urgent. EMs say they will give you time to work down tech debt and make community contributions, but the reality is you only have time to do these things if you slack on feature work, work longer hours, or work on the weekend. It’s not shocking that GameStop happened. So many PMs making roadmaps and defining deadlines when the actual feature has not been scoped. Designs for frontend are WIP for almost the entire lifecycle when building the product, which leads to last second crunch (for engineers and design only of course). The company struggles with long term vision. Repeatedly pausing and resuming products is extremely common. The justification usually is that something higher priority needs to be immediately done. Never mind the fact that the higher priority items were usually known about, often years prior.
On my offer letter, i just noticed it says "We will recommend to Robinhood’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that you be granted XXX restricted stock units for Robinhood’s Common Stock". Why does it say "will recommend"? It says "will receive" when it discusses the signing bonus. Does this mean th...Read more

I ended up accepting. I thought long and hard about it, and did more research, and I realized that the issues with GME were not due to any thing I really blame Robinhood for, or felt like they did immorally (which would be my main concern). I think it was a perfect storm of extreme volatility, extre...Read more
Both Senior IC role with compensation close to 420k/y excluding sign-on (roblox 5% more than robinhood). Both working on interesting new area/project. Roblox equity is based on recent $30B funding, which makes me feel the short term upside would be limited compared to Robinhood. What would you cho...Read more
