Itโ€™s been 9month since I joined roku, I feel really tired and constant pressure, my manager do not even do 1-on-1, no support within team, no team bonding , you are left along to do work, I did not even meet team single person because there is no concept of team bounding or lunch.
People warned me joining roku, my bad I did not listen.

Please stay away from roku from heart โค๏ธ

    Itโ€™s hard to join remote. But Iโ€™ve had the same problem both in remote and on-site roles at different companies. I joined a couple groups to meet people and lurked at their virtual and zoom events and eventually found a couple people to chat with. It doesnโ€™t take a lot.
    At Many companies there are Slack channels for all kinds of topics (cycling, Star Wars, nutrition, Hispanic group, Black Engagement, etc.,) . Maybe start with the things you already like and see if you can connect with a colleague or two about them. Join the channel and say โ€œIโ€™m new here and excited to see other people like | insert topic here ~personal finance~salsa dancing~Atari | too. Some channels are kind of quiet, but some are really active. Eventually you can maybe get coffee onsite with some of these people or just have a zoom chat while offices area still closed.

      Iโ€™ve been there and fucking hated it, but had to make it work until my next role. It was a suggestion.
      You should probably quit today and stop whining.

      Good increase in comp. I'm a pretty independent eng, hopefully I can get stuffs done without much guidance.
      Actually I'd want opportunities to guide an support others ๐Ÿ‘ฏ

      @uiooxawe companies like Roku don't have that kind of opportunities. You have to be at a big company which hires junior engineers if you want to guide other engineers

  • One thing I find interesting about Roku complainers is that they never mention their comp. Anyone else has the same observation?
