I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Roblox in May 2021
Interview
Worked with a recruiter through a referral. Did a phone screen, panel interview, leadership interview, and a technical screen. The whole process took a few weeks but moved quickly when it needed to. Scheduling was flexible and the interviews themselves were fine. I was told I'd be receiving an offer. I exchanged salary requirements with the recruiter. Finally, I received a phone call from the recruiter telling me I would not be getting an offer.
I'd recommend the company examine its hiring process and really understand why HM's don't really have a say in who gets hired.
Reach out by recruiter, set up phone screen interview. 60 min coding interview. A leetcode style question with 3 follow up , overall experience is good got reject 2 weeks afterward.
The phone screen was surprisingly technical and lasted about 45 minutes, diving straight into system design. I was asked to design a leaderboard service, which caught me off guard at first. But as I started to outline my approach, I realized it was similar to a challenge I’d practiced on prachub.com just days before. The subsequent technical rounds were intense, focusing on DSA problems and scalability issues. In the end, I got an offer that I happily accepted, despite the difficulties I faced throughout the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a leaderboard service that supports tens of millions of concurrent players. Cover top-K queries, neighbor-rank queries, partial sharding, and consistency tradeoffs.
Reached out by HR and chatted with a hiring manager. Mostly Behavioral questions such as why you want to work at roblox. The conversation was great and smooth. But they rejected me after a few days.
