Square Vs Roku
Hi, I have offer from both Roku and Square. Roku - Sr. SWE : 280K base + 200K RSU for 4 years + no bonus + 15% refresher but refreshers get vested after 4 year cliff Square - L5 : 180k base + 500k for 4 years + 20% refresher + 10k sign on + no performance bonus I want to evaluate the offer base on folowing parameters. 1) Learning opportunities 2) Work life balance 3) Compensation 4) Job stability 5) Peers/ Co-workers TC: 250K YoE: 7 Years #roku #square #software #swe
I'm sure Square is a better company, but I wouldn't pass up that compounding interest from a couple years at 430k TC
Wow... Roku pays $380k base for Sr SWE?
Sorry about the confusion base with roku is 280k. I will edit it.
Be ready for hire and fire
You mean pip?
Yes, not worth to risking, knowing stock is already up
Be ready to be used at Roku for 2 years !
Is PIP common at Roku? What’s severance in that case?
Roku does not have ANY type of bonus, no Espp, they pay min for health insurance (so your premium would mostly jump).and there are NO holidays. You will see meetings scheduled on national holidays as well.
Very true, one of the worst benefit in valley. Even current job opening advertisements say food will be provided, but it’s not true. All other companies gives food coupons to employees during pandemic. Other than stock nothing great here. But stock is already at peak. There is constant fear of PIP if u r in H1b, manager hire only h1b to exploit you( most of Indian manager)
Second that 😒😒😒
I might be out of touch with reality, but my experience at roku has been great. Benefits could use some improvement but overall it is a great place to work.
Did you end up accepting one?
You mentioned 280k base on another post, what a guy
I am a girl 😜
What a gal then.. sorry about the confusion but that does not answer my question.
