      Engineering Manager Interview

      Feb 9, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Roblox (San Mateo, CA) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out for Software Engineer position - I mentioned that I was interested in Engineering Manager position with links to some positions from their careers site. We had an initial call about my background and experience, she kept evading (multiple times) questions around which position I was being considered for, and just sent a "Systems Engineer" position (which I had no interest in pursuing) insisting that everybody starts from this position while interviewing, and later they see where you are a fit. The interview process: Karat Interview, Virtual on-site(4-5 interviews), which may be followed by conversations with senior executives. During my Karat interview (1hr), the interviewer spent the first 20 or so minutes: introducing himself, asking about my background, my projects and discussing my experience. He then clearly stated that there would be 1 question that will be asked and the expectation is to finish it in the remainder of the time with completion and passing of all test cases being the only objective (no need for the solution to be optimized). I was able to finish the question within allotted time, with all test cases passing. The recording was then shared with Roblox, and a week later I receive an email from the recruiter saying that there isn't a "good technical match". I asked for feedback and was shocked to learn that the expectation was to solve multiple questions in the Karat interview! What I don't get is: Why was there such a major disconnect in the actual expectation of Roblox, and the expectation communicated by the Karat interviewer? Also, why were the first 20 mins of my interview wasted in discussing projects if the expectation was to solve multiple (3) questions?! This is a clear indication of a company running with chaos: Lack of clear communication within the company and outside - on hiring process and expectations Incompetence of recruiter to answer candidate's questions I would never want to work for such a company - glad the result turned out the way it did!

      Engineering Manager Interview

      Nov 12, 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Mateo, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Roblox (San Mateo, CA) in Jul 2023

      Interview

      It was interesting because the position I originally applied for and was the best fit for disappeared due to internal reorganization. So I ended up interviewing for a position I was probably not as good of a fit for. I Did a recruiter screen, tech screen, manager screen, then full panel for a management position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I signed an NDA and can't give specifics. System design, coding and management interviews. I thought they were mostly good questions. I suspect the lack of an offer was because the hiring manager and I didn't communicate very well, which gave me pause as well for that specific role.

      Engineering Manager Interview

      Mar 10, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Roblox in Feb 2021

      Interview

      TLDR: recruiter ghosted me half way through the process and won’t even respond to emails anymore. I applied for an EM role and a recruiter set up a call. She was about 10 mins late to call me. On the call, I got a sense she might be overloaded. She said she’ll take all of my information to the hiring manager and get back to me in a couple of days. A week goes by and no email from her, so I followed up with her and she said they’d like to move forward with a technical screen with Karat. I completed the screening and waited for a week to hear back but didn’t. So, I followed up again and she apologized for not getting back sooner and said she’ll have an update for me the next day. 2 weeks go by and still no email from her and I sent her another follow-up email a week ago and she still hasn’t responded. Please don’t waste candidates’ time if you aren’t going to follow through with them.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical screen has a code review component and a coding component. They’re both fairly easy if you know how to spot patterns in questions.
