I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Roblox in Jun 2015
Interview
Short version: Very unorganized and unprofessional.
Full version:
First contacted by recruiter A via email for a general phone call; but since I was on vacation, I postponed the call for about a month.
Once I got back, recruiter A scheduled a phone call for me with recruiter B. This recruiter B stood me up the first time, and the recruiter A had to schedule the second phone call.
After the phone call with recruiter B, recruiter A checked back in and scheduled a technical phone screen for me with recruiter C (yes, this is the third recruiter, not someone that's in engineering in Roblox).
The recruiter C stood me up twice this time, and I've never heard from them after that.

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.
