I've got an offer from Roblox but I'm feeling a little hesitant to leave amazon. I'd like to ask for insight from current employees. What's the tech stack like? How is the culture? What's the management like?
The tech stack is .net. And you will be using windows.
Overall I'm really happy with culture, WLB, my team and management. WLB is good, I like my work, and I've got room for growth. Dave has liked to talk about ownership at the team level though. So two teams can be really different. But overall it's a really good place.
Yeah amazon is similar insofar as all the teams can be extremely different.
I've occasionally heard about someone moving to a new employer, but people seem to stick around. I know a fair number of people who have been here for years. And I really don't hear rumors of people getting pipped.
Could you share your offer details and level?
TC and GtFo
Feel free to dm, but as is the custom... please share current tc and offer details
What’s up with all these .NET and C# haters? And no I’m not a .NET and C# programmer, but: 1. Net and C# are cross-platform. 2. They’re as much ahead of other modern programming languages and frameworks as much is Tesla as an electric car ahead of other EVs.
What did you decide op?
I’d pick Roblox in a heartbeat compared to Amazon from a financial upside viewpoint. I’m waiting for their IPO to invest because they seem to have a really good market opportunity. I don’t know anyone who works there though, so I can’t say much about the culture...
I hope you pick Roblox
TC, yoe, and offer?
