I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Roblox (San Mateo, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
No wonder why this company has got such great reviews in glassdoor. I applied through LinkedIn , the process started with a call from HR , she gave me great insight on the role and the organisation.
After HR, i got a call from Hiring manager which is a brief discussion about my experience. once HM round is done, i was asked to schedule a online coding test with Karat. it was a 60 minutes coding round with 2 questions.
Once the coding round is done, within couple of days i got a positive feedback. i was asked to visit them for an onsite which comprised 2 coding round, one design , meeting with VP and CEO of the company.
Not even a minute i was left alone in this entire process , the feedback loop is so impressive. within couple of weeks i got the offer.
After experiencing the enthusiasm shown by the entire organisation in treating a interview candidate , i am so pumped up and cannot wait to join them.

We’re hopeful that you’re able to do the best work of your career here so we can continue the momentum we’ve been experiencing!
Other Senior Software Engineer interview reviews for Roblox
Reach out by recruiter, set up phone screen interview. 60 min coding interview. A leetcode style question with 3 follow up , overall experience is good got reject 2 weeks afterward.
The phone screen was surprisingly technical and lasted about 45 minutes, diving straight into system design. I was asked to design a leaderboard service, which caught me off guard at first. But as I started to outline my approach, I realized it was similar to a challenge I’d practiced on prachub.com just days before. The subsequent technical rounds were intense, focusing on DSA problems and scalability issues. In the end, I got an offer that I happily accepted, despite the difficulties I faced throughout the process.

Reached out by HR and chatted with a hiring manager. Mostly Behavioral questions such as why you want to work at roblox. The conversation was great and smooth. But they rejected me after a few days.
