Pros

-Free lunch -Company events -Typical perks at any tech company

Cons

I worked on the recruiting/sourcing team. There were alot of re-orgs and restructuring so your manager could've changed every 6 months to a year and having to get placed on a new team. The recruiting process here was extremely broken and biased. We were encouraged to look at candidates from top companies, top schools (which has been proven to be a lack of diversity - in terms of socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicity, and life experiences etc. they don't care as long as they are "the best of the best" at Roblox) They also wanted you to funnel as many candidates as possible just to string them along to say no or the job changed or is no longer available. Very elitist environment. The recruiting org was also very clique. They also did unethical layoffs, lured you into a meeting with your manager and then had some HR director you've never met and the director of the org lay you off without any explanation and without your manager there, didn't matter if you hit 100% of your goals (which was the case you can see everyones hires and acceptances across the board) some recruiters or sourcers had no hires for 2+ years and they were still kept on the team. If you look at which companies they were from nepotism strongly plays a case here.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
