Pros

Roblox pays well above market. Lunch and generous snacks are provided and the office is nice, and right next to caltrain.

Cons

Literally everything else is a dumpster fire. The infrastructure is garbage. The planning is chaotic. Senior leadership will not delegate and seems to think all the employees are stupid. Middle management is cliquey, territorial, and ineffective. Reviews are constant and arbitrary. Lots of petty fiefdoms. Nothing gets done. top talent comes and goes pretty quickly. Morale is perpetually low, and most employees and managers are scared to varying degrees, and no one is confident. The stock is going nowhere. The CEO thinks he's a visionary but everyone else can see that he's an idiot.

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.
