Roblox

Roblox used to be a fantastic company to work for, we even received surveys asking about it from external reviewers. That has stopped. The company used to be more supportive in regards to disabilities and diversity but that’s also gone downhill.

It used to be a company I loved to work for and referred friends to as it was genuinely a fantastic workplace. None of that is true anymore.

The company has gone so far as to track employees badging in at the office and sending it to their manager… and then puts the manager on the hook for forcing that employee in a minimum number of days. They’re also apparently trying to “unremote” people that were previously approved to remain remote. Overall, would recommend avoiding. The mental health impacts just don’t make up for the positives.



I served as a remote worker for Roblox, helping to moderate the website and ensure a safe, healthy environment for kids to explore their creativity and enhance their digital building skills. Overall this is a very supportive company, intent on making sure every employee contributes in a meaningful way to the company as a whole. Management is very hands on at every level. The hardest part of this particular job is dealing with the constant influx of negativity between players and trolls, including but not limited to various forms of hate speech and propaganda, and the company as a whole is dedicated to making sure no one is overwhelmed by dealing with these issues.

A typical working day for a Roblox moderator - you will need to consider player complaints and make decisions if they are justified.

React instantly and make the right decisions to punish.

It is worth maintaining ethics and employment practices in your work.

The hardest thing is that when
users complain en masse about the profile of another user, you don’t understand blocking the profile of users who complain en masse, since for this they can block the account, or block the user themselves who are complaining about.

The most enjoyable part of the job is to clear Roblox of unwanted content and secure the platform itself from this content, as well as help platform users with their questions.

As a software engineer at Roblox, I was expected to write functional and maintainable code, but management flip-flopped on overarching goals too often for me to actually perform my job effectively.

The overarching company culture is not very good if you value free speech and autonomy. This is very common in the entire SF Bay Area as far as I can tell. People with dissenting opinions were encouraged to stay quiet.

The company was also very interested in hiring for diversity rather than merit.

Office politics. Managers will do anything to protect their status and job, and too young to know how to properly manage. 80+ work hours/week. Roblox fires a lot of people without giving any warning. Work projects are last-minute and unpredictable. Salary is high, but it comes at the cost of your sanity. The hiring process is more about pitching the company to you rather than assessing whether you'd be a good fit.

The most awesome part about Roblox are the people - they are extremely passionate about gaming & love their job! I had the pleasure to work with multiple teams being the Graphic Designer there, from Advertising to Marketing to Engineering. As the company continued to grow, there was a shift in management & I felt that those people managing lacked some communication & peoples' skills.

Working in the Roblox Marketing department offers an incredible opportunity to manage high-impact, global campaigns that reach millions of users. The culture is highly data-driven, and you collaborate closely with brilliant product and data science teams. However, the environment is exceptionally fast-paced. Shifting product roadmaps can frequently lead to tight marketing deadlines and changing priorities. It is a fantastic place for growth if you thrive in a dynamic, rapidly evolving ecosystem.

I really enjoyed my time as a ROBLOX employee. Working from home was a major bonus! The job was very flexible, and easy to handle with my schedule. I was able to connect with people all over the world via internet. The hardest part of the job was making sure not to make any type of spelling errors as you are sending emails. The most enjoyable part of the job that I had found was being able to connect with coworkers who are based all over the U.S.A

A typical day at work is enjoyable because of the nice atmosphere.  I learned how to optimize on certain tasks, and different methods to do things.  The management is very helpful and organized.  The workplace culture is respectful and everyone gets their job done.  The hardest part of the job is thinking of a new idea; but it's also enjoyable once implementing it and seeing it have good feedback.
