Team is fairly small and get to have more chances to work on the interesting projects; company is growing fast and gives more responsibility; coworkers are usually very intelligent, nice and supportive, can't ask for more in terms of colleagues.
Flexibility of work time; good holiday vacation and unlimited PTO; robust medical; convenient parking; company lunch is normally good; snacks are good and always in stock.
Company-wide meeting every Tuesday where you can ask CEO any question, and employee are always keep posted of company decisions and outlook; higher level are usually easy to talk to and get informed.
Cons
Working environment can be more open and collaborative, and some entertainment facility like fooseball/table tennis would be nice.
No business card is given, it could be a great/cheap way to introduce and promote the company.

Thank you for your thorough feedback. We believe in transparency at all levels, which is why our CEO has regular brown bag AMA sessions, and the floor is open for questions, suggestions, and volunteering expertise to tackle new challenges. We’ve since moved to a new office that is modern and open for more collaborative innovation. We’ve shared your note about business cards internally, but feel free to contact feedback@roblox.com with any additional insights.
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.
