Interviewing for an information security role at Roblox. Any insights on the current morale and/or culture? I read a lot of not so great reviews recently. Should I stay clear or go for it?
Can you be picky in this market?
Im not actively looking Got a call, saw the cash component, and continued interviewing
Ok then do you and interview for fun. No shade, just asking. Good brand on resume.
Someone who works there can correct me, but I think that quite a few people left the security group due to RTO and the morale is not good. But again, this is not firsthand info, so hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong. If your recruiter has the initials of AG, he's a good dude and will be truthful about recent turnover.
Leadership is clueless, buddy system with leadership, morale is down... Enjoy 🍿
Hard pass! Not worth the political games at Roblox.
I don't know about that team specifically, I'll just say that Roblox isn't perfect (like every employer) but there are a couple disgruntled former employees who had bad experiences and pop up in every thread like this. Don't overindex on them.
OP what role are you applying to?
Your experience in Roblox Infosec varies widely by team. AppSec is good (although under-hired), GRC is bad on morale and not doing too well, InfraSec is new and growing, SecEng is dead, Detection and Response is great to work in. So take your pick, but it does suffer from the overall Roblox morale - which is not InfoSec specific.
OP can you dm me? Asking since I can't dm you
I am not on infosec or security side of things. But this isn't a great place to grow. And how you like it varies a lot depending on team. If you are looking to make good money, then sure. But don't rely on stocks to grow at all. Infact consider it to halve. People in general are nice except a few. Leadership sucks big time here. Very top down and can be extremely micromanaging. I would probably not come here if I could go back and re-decide. Net net, don't come here unless you are getting a 60% salary bump
Definitely stay away. They did a silent layoff for Talent Acquisition a few weeks ago. 30+ sourcers and 4 female recruiting managers. Very shady practice and culture is terrible. Only plus is that the money is good but look at their stock.
Stay away. Roblox is going downhill
What if i do not plan to be there forever? What would it take to thrive rather than just survive there? The cash component is pretty good
Roblox is legit
