    If you look at all negative reviews about Roku on blind, majority will be from google employees. Just saying

      There’s reviews about great WLB, point is ymmv. If it’s so bad, why not leave?

    I heard some weird things about Roku, like path to promo is difficult because goals are not clearly set or ambiguous, aggressive culture with lot of churn and firing, any comment about that from your experience?

      That’s too broad a question, I tried to be specific

      OP
      Thanks for your questions.

      1. We only have 2 levels for IC. Non-senior and senior. So I am not sure what you mean by promotion. TC depends on your yoe for same level. We expect everyone to perform well but that doesn't mean have a bad wlb. Wlb is good but may not be like Google.

      2. I think churn is low, LinkedIn recruiter account shows churn at various companies. You can ask someone for this data.

      3. There was some firing that happened prior to me joining. I don't know much about the details, probably something political.

      4. We are growing and need people. Having a bad culture will hurt us in hiring. We don't have the recruiting arms like Amazon, where they can afford to hire with poor culture.
