Roku offer

Hi Roku friends, How is your experience with Roku? I’ve read many negative reviews about the culture of Roku. Now hesitant to take the offer. Can anyone share some thoughts? YOE: 5 Offer: 280k #tech #roku

What's the offer? And what level?

Citibank irk94p OP Apr 28, 2022

Roku doesn’t have level. Offer is shown in the thread.

Ohh so this is new tc... Seems low for the bay area and swe role. As for culture i have heard it's not that bad just that they work like startup so it's a little chaotic.

Same boat as you, but planning to talk to hiring manager

Twist Bioscience notSoGr8 Apr 28, 2022

Ask them to talk to some of the engineers in the team you’ll be joining to get their input

Roku tries to copy Netflix's culture, but worse than it.

Do they pay the same as Netflix?

I just had a call with a recruiter from HR and as she was explaining their lack of levels and lack of performance review processes, I was thinking it sounded awfully like Netflix, ha.

Do not come here, horrible place, hire and fire culture. Manager blame you for small mistake

Yes agree (current roku employee here) They are only very few mistakes in the world that you can do that are actually worse than accepting an offer at Roku

Lol this isn’t true

Is it non-tech role ?

Which role and location is the offer? This seems low for senior swe in Bay Area.

Cerner NotInKC Apr 29, 2022

How long does ROKU take to say yes/no? I heard it’s two days at the max? It’s been two days in my case, can I assume it’s a no?

Joining roku in current condition is worst decision, few dept has hiring freeze, soon after next quarter they will start layoff,

Roku Gjlo73 May 7, 2022

Which dept has hiring freeze?

FreeWheel Mdwm30 May 9, 2022

is anyone concerned about the future of roku? are there clear plans on how it plans to compete with the other tech giants? despite culture, I want to know if I were to move over that the company will be successful especially since bonus is based off equity.

Roku randomfro May 9, 2022

There’s no bonus. Mostly big cash. Good future, don’t mind the short term noise.
