Is Roblox risky to join in current market? Any employees can tell? Team : content platform , senior software engineer ( I was told team is a senior heavy team as it has a very high qps) How’s the wlb?
Join, nothing is guaranteed but I can tell u its a good company to work for!
incoming broblox that has nothing better to do than complain, just a guy that couldn’t hang.
And yet, he’s spot on.
In case you are wondering, the reason why I left was discrimination and retaliation for reporting. And for those not familiar with Roblox, that's tjust me, there was a whole Bloomberg expose about it. Mrboots, however, seems perfectly fine with it. Which is representative of Roblox management as a whole. To Roblox, reporting racism and discrimination is "complaining" and grounds for removal. Mrboots seems to support that apparently. Remember folks - discrimination is basically "you couldn't hang" to Roblox. Good news is that I have some leads on some lawyers.
Congrats op! How was the interview? How many system design rounds?
I’d avoid. Super toxic environment and there’s a lot of negative sentiment within the company right now
Eh, not really. They revoked full time remote for most people who were below IC5 which is a shitty thing to do, but doesn’t really count as “a lot of negative sentiment”. There’s a lot of interesting work to be done and I’ve found most people here are pretty nice to work with.
Okay bootlicker 🥾 👅
Son, roblox has always been a risky place to join. Look at our stock chart. It moves like penny stocks
Everywhere sucks right now. So, looking at it that way, Roblox is still solid
Way less layoffs turmoil than the fangs so what is risky seeming here depends on how you measure it...
WLB: ask your team during the interview process, they'll be honest. My manager never expects me to work more than 40 a week and works with me if I ever get concerned that I have to 👍 but like any other senior, I do what I must if I overpromised, enjoy it, I have nothing else better to do, or I want extra credit. But that doesn't mean we are taking it easy. Velocity is high and so are expectations. But yeah work smarter not harder.
Did you not see our earnings? We’re doing well
How’s wlb?
3 days a week rto, otherwise ok. Sometimes gets crunchy but depends on the team
