Great company that makes frustrating decisions because they are privately-owned and in an impenetrable monopoly. - Intern Roblox Employee Review

Pros

Flexible structure, modern company, a feeling that you’re a part of something big. Good youthful culture. Roblox is amazing company with tons of amazing people and is a great place to work. Its potential is truly underestimated by the public and the media. This “kid’s platform” has games already competing with top steam titles in terms of player counts and revenue, and it is still growing. Roblox has an incredibly liquid corporate structure and that makes it a fun place for flexible people who like to take initiative to work.

Cons

Roblox maintains a virtually impenetrable monopoly due to countless patents and ten years of platform development. That allows senior management to be lazy and make serious mistakes but still the company keeps growing. A lot of the company (mostly business side) doesn’t really have a good grasp of what the platform is. This leads to frustratingly poor business decisions that are completely out of touch with the UGC nature of the company.

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.
