Roblox IC6 - Data Science - nuts TC 🤯

Sharing info here: just jumped off a screening phone call with HR from Roblox. Data science range from IC3 to IC6 with TC for IC6: $360k base + $750k RSU 🤯 [EDIT] : this is for pure information only, I haven’t gone through first round yet. It will help people to decide whether it’s worth applying or not. [EDIT 2] : DM for interview questions and process.

ML or analytics?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

They don’t make this distinction. Only one job family: Data Science.

750k per year?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

I didn’t get wether it was per year or for 4 years. My mind was stuck at the $360k base per year 😅. Also HR didn’t share range, just numbers, so there could still be potential for more.

🙏 thanks for sharing. Base is great but rsus are even greater if it is on annual basis.

Roblox vs google for same TC - what do you choose?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

Still need to get an offer first 😅. Even IC6 at Facebook doesn’t pay $360k base. Roblox is the new Netflix in term of TC.

Why you stuck on base so much? Look at overall comp and weigh in your offers. Roblox is a young company so there's more risk/reward and they compensate you accordingly. FAANG companies on the flip side have been around for a while and still offer your competitive TC so you lower your risk and also the reward.

That’s probably the data science & analytics org. Analytics won’t be paid the same grade as actual data scientists

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

Donnu, they only have 35 Data scientists in a 1200 people org I was told.

Do they offer remote work

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

No, everyone back to the office by Sept 13tg

All employees back at the office seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I’m curious if this no wfh is for the team you’re interviewing or company wide. There may be exceptions??

How is the interview process?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

Quite long I was explained: 2 separate 1:1, then one 6hr technical onsite, then one 2-3hr biz onsite.

Amazon hlvj20 May 24, 2021

What does biz onsite entail?

ORBCOMM XCNK77 May 24, 2021

Thanks, sounds quite rigorous. Is each on site one long session or multiple rounds combined?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

It’s gonna be multiple 1:1 I was told

SAP QrEA17 May 24, 2021

That’s crazy base. Congrats

Why nuts? What seems unusual here?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

People reports TC but no way to verify. Especially no one reports the appreciation of their stocks. Here I got confirmation straight from HR’s mouth.

Facebook public2 May 24, 2021

That's funny because HR is the least reliable source of those you mentioned. That said what do you find nuts here?

Amazon hlvj20 May 24, 2021

What's the location?

Capital Group Flo!Rida OP May 24, 2021

San Mateo, no wfh allowed.
