I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Roblox in Mar 2011
Interview
The recruiting contact was personable, friendly, and courteous in all interactions.
I had only one on-site technical interview for about an hour to an hour and a half, on basic data structures, the purpose of virtual functions in C++, general programming, and 2 programming exercises.
While the interviewer was polite, he was also aloof. He would ask simple, but open-ended questions, yet expect specific answers that seemed to depend on contexts or assumptions he didn't communicate very well or at all and seemed rather arbitrary.
Afterwards, the recruiting contact responded with their decision within 24 hours after the interview.

Question 1
Write functions that convert a string to uppercase or lowercase without assuming anything about the alphabet or character set it uses (for instance, do not assume it is in English or ASCII).
Thank you for sharing your experience. We've changed a lot in 7 years, but we’ve shared your notes internally as part of our ongoing efforts to refine our hiring processes.
Other Software Engineer Intern interview reviews for Roblox
The interview was extremely difficult; it was split across four exams. One technical exam, two puzzles, and a behavioral. The technical portion was a leetcode medium and hard. One puzzle was easy. The car puzzle felt impossible. The behavioral exam was rather difficult.

Question 1
Build a file system or something along those lines.
First step had a 90 minute interview process of 4 problems. Including a coding problem and two Roblox puzzle games. Coding problem is a similar style to a leetcode problem.
Multiple different intellect games that test strategy, creativity, and IQ. Tests your time management. Also a coding section mainly around the medium difficulty mark, and potentially a hard difficulty. That also requires time management while solving.
