north raptor
#

how hard is the final?

#

i have mine in a couple of days

daring mirage
#

Would say similar to Microsoft difficulty — harder than amazon but easier than google

daring mirage
#

No still waiting to hear back

#

Will probably get rejected

north raptor
#

okay so now i know its hard 🙂

daring mirage
#

Because they’re interviewing thousands for final round so competition gonna be really high

north raptor
#

what the hell

daring mirage
#

Nah it’s not hard just the competition is gonna be so high

north raptor
#

theres no way thousands

daring mirage
#

That’s what the guy claimed at the beginning lol

north raptor
#

i mean how many will get selected ? 60 or like less

daring mirage
#

No idea

north raptor
#

i think he meant thousands of OAs

daring mirage
#

Nah he said final specifically

north raptor
#

i dont think they have enough staff to do 30 interviews a day

bronze pawn
#

yeah that seems insane

daring mirage
#

Idk maybe I’m an idiot and misheard probably more likely lmao

bronze pawn
#

that’s also like $500,000+ lol

north raptor
#

i think they might hire 30-50 people

bronze pawn
#

In hourly wage costs

north raptor
#

im not even sure

bronze pawn
#

oh aight ty

#

how about the mission/values

#

just behavioural type shit? @daring mirage

daring mirage
#

Yeah don’t stress about it

#

Very standard

bronze pawn
#

@oak verge fyi

oak verge
#

been watching this, thanks <3

grim moon
#

it wasn't too bad for me

#

but the intro person said that there weren't many people having a final, she claimed they filtered hard before the final

#

But I still think I got rejected just cus of competition

daring mirage
#

Wait really? How many people did your intro person say were being interviewed?

#

Idk why there’s such a big discrepancy in their responses lol

gusty wing
#

the final was pretty rough

#

they said the same bullshit to me too @grim moon dw

#

I haven't gotten a rejection yet but it's been a few days since my final and I'm kinda bummed

grim moon
#

Yeah I think Imma follow up after a week

#

@gusty wing did u have urs Tuesday morning?

gusty wing
grim moon
#

there were like 10 people in that zoom

#

so I'm assuming they had probably like 100 people max they were interviewing

#

and probably like 50 offers to give

bronze pawn
#

no way

#

lmao theres just no way

gusty wing
#

Yeah the acceptance rate is really high once you get to that point

grim moon
#

I think they had 2 blocks of interviews for 3 days I think

gusty wing
#

so me and @grim moon are just dumb as shit lmao

#

or there's something else at play

grim moon
#

yeah lmfao

#

I just wanna get my response for closure and cus other deadlines

gusty wing
#

You got any outstanding offers?

bronze pawn
#

theres obvs gonna be other days to itnerview

grim moon
#

I have VMware and edX and then google for fall possibly

#

If I somehow get Roblox I'd be done applying

#

So really hoping I got lucky

#

@bronze pawn They said this year they were planning on just having a few big interview days

#

thats why the survey I filled only had two days

bronze pawn
#

makes sense i gues

gusty wing
bronze pawn
#

but it's prob closer to 2-250 ppl if they're hiring 50

#

the bar was codesignal the cognitive lmao

#

i dont get how it was that selective

grim moon
#

yeah and they resume screen hard after too

gusty wing
#

You'd be surprised

#

I got 800 on codesignal

bronze pawn
#

i aint that special

gusty wing
#

but a majority of the people on the final call were 840 dudes

bronze pawn
#

tho i did cold email the same recruiter that hit me up

grim moon
#

@bronze pawn when is urs?

bronze pawn
#

not scheduled yet

grim moon
#

yeah I had 841

#

but yeah the recruiter was like take it easy because if u have made it this far ur past the hardest part

gusty wing
#

Honestly though

#

if you made it to a Roblox final

#

you'll get placed somewhere good

grim moon
#

yeah but I want Roblox lol

#

the vibes seemed awesome

gusty wing
#

Yeah I love that 220k comp vibe too lol

grim moon
#

its 250 now I think

gusty wing
#

Jesus fucking christ

#

please Roblox

#

I'll play your game everyday

grim moon
#

lmao

#

I'm a simp for Roblox at this point everything seems so fire about them

gusty wing
#

Dang

#

I'm a big Google simp

#

so to hear that from you is a lot lmao

grim moon
#

I would take Roblox over G anyday

#

More TC and similar plusses

gusty wing
#

Yeah but that name brand

#

Kind of a weird thing to think about but I'd rather tell my asian ass family that I work at Google

#

rather than having to explain what Roblox is

grim moon
#

with roblox on ur resume I don't thinn any resume screen will look down on jt

gusty wing
#

but then again that sweet comp

grim moon
#

looking on LinkedIn people go from Facebook/Google to roblox pretty often

#

yeah explaining it to non swe people is probably tougher

#

but also u can flex on little kids that u can ban their account

gusty wing
#

I wish Mojang paid a lot

grim moon
#

lmfao except technically roblox isn't a game

gusty wing
#

I'd love to just shit on kids in Minecraft

grim moon
#

honestly working for COD would be nice insta ban people from voice chat

gusty wing
#

working for RIOT would be cool too

#

or Valve if that's an option

oak verge
#

yea riot would be sick

daring mirage
#

Ngl i know it sounds awful but im so glad theres other ppl who think theyre not gonna get in too lmao

#

I was gutted and so stressed cause i heard the guy saying they were gonna interview a ton of people so i was like there’s no chance

daring mirage
#

Can we make a roblox survivors support group 🤣

supple nova
#

Pretty surr

#

I aced technicals and open ended

#

But I choked on behaviors

#

Interviewer was really stern and made me nervous

#

Dunno how much they matter but

#

My answers to follow up were lackluster

#

Hopefully I get it fingers crossed

#

@gusty wing

#

U got rejected already?

#

Nvm

#

Don't u guys have a pretty good idea of how well you did?

#

The interviewers were really vocal about

#

How well you were doing

#

And communicated really well

#

Yeah I agree

daring mirage
#

You interview today?

supple nova
#

Nah I did already

daring mirage
#

Gotcha

#

Im hoping we hear back next week

supple nova
#

U know how many they taking?

daring mirage
#

No i had that as one of my questions to ask but ran out of time lmao

supple nova
#

Should be like 25 interviews per day from what I'm hearing

daring mirage
#

How many days, do you know?

supple nova
#

Nope

daring mirage
#

Ah

supple nova
#

But I think they heavily filter before

#

So we'll see

#

I think they are expanding quite heavily no?

daring mirage
#

Yeah def

#

But idk i could have swore my intro person said theyre interviewing a ton of people

supple nova
#

Was like 800 at ipo

#

Or smth

daring mirage
#

Like he said the reason they need 2 weeks was so that they could have time to review all of them since theres so many

supple nova
#

The intro girl said they were looking for confirmation

daring mirage
#

@bronze pawn when u get ur final scheduled can u ask them how many new grads they’re planning on hiring prayge

supple nova
#

They said

#

This week or next week no?

gusty wing
#

First two were really nice and I felt like we hit it off

#

but the last two felt like they were just being polite

#

idk

supple nova
#

Hmm seems like

#

There was a round of final invites yday

#

So I'm guessing it's 6 interview slots

#

This week

#

None next week

gusty wing
#

Dang that's a lot of finalists

daring mirage
#

Is roblox your guys dream company also lmao

supple nova
#

Yeah

#

I chilled with the first interviewer

daring mirage
#

Like i would literally work here over citadel

#

Facebook

#

Google

supple nova
#

Talking about random shit for 30 mins

bronze pawn
#

Bruh it’s been 4 business days since I filled out my form

#

Still nothing

supple nova
#

Was fun

gusty wing
#

Naw it's not but shit 250k comp is the dream

supple nova
#

I really vibed with the

#

Open ended dude

daring mirage
#

Did y’all reach out to ur interviewers after the final

supple nova
#

I like the culture a lot

#

Are u supposed to

daring mirage
#

Idk lmao

gusty wing
#

wait you're supposed to reach out after final? yikes

supple nova
#

Doubt it helps

daring mirage
#

Yeah i just thanked them at the end but idk if they’re looking for like a more personal connection since it’s a smaller company

supple nova
#

Hmm

#

Hopefully we hear back tomorrow

#

Otherwise imma be so anxious over the weekend

daring mirage
#

Really doubt it

gusty wing
#

They'll most likely reach out on Monday at max

#

but then again, they can string us on until December if they really wanted to lmfaoo

daring mirage
#

That’s what they did last year lol

supple nova
#

Nah I think they won't fuck up like last year

gusty wing
#

Idk man

#

this year is more packed

oak verge
#

yea i wonder how bad its gonna be for cs majors in 5 or 10 years

daring mirage
#

Another day of no word WazowskiStare

oak verge
#

you emailed them after final right?

#

did they respond?

#

when did you email them?

daring mirage
#

I didn’t email

oak verge
#

ah it might help to do so idk

daring mirage
#

Wait u heard back?

oak verge
#

no i haven't had it yet

daring mirage
#

When you get a “Thank you for interviewing with Roblox” email and almost have a heart attack and then realize that its just asking for survey responses WazowskiStare

strange oriole
#

#

I emailed with thank yous but no response

supple nova
#

I posted a little about it above

digital quiver

daring mirage
#

Thanks good luck with yours too

#

Nothing to worry about pretty standard

digital quiver
#

mhm ok

#

i hope it is xd

oak verge
#

wait what was it like

#

like in terms of LC difficulty

#

and num of questions

#

in each technical

#

ah okay that's cool

strange oriole
#

Hey is anyone able to access the candidate experience form?

daring mirage
#

Nope

grim moon
#

anyone follow up with roblox yet?

daring mirage
#

Nah hasnt been a week yet

#

Ill wait until next week

north raptor
#

on a scale of 1-10

supple nova
#

meh behavioral

#

but everything else pretty good

#

especially the technicals

daring mirage
#

Meh bar raiser for me i think couldnt really get a gauge on if i did good or bad and assuming thats the most important round probably reject sadge

north raptor
#

im scared, im wondering how many engineers do they hire

#

if they only hire 7 i dont even think i should do the interview

supple nova
#

@daring mirage bar raiser is the open ended?

north raptor
#

wtf is a bar raiser

daring mirage
#

Ya

#

The email calls it bar raiser

north raptor
#

ohhh i see, i must have missed that earlier

supple nova
#

lol i make league cheats

#

and my interviewer plays league so

#

first interviewer who understood my project

north raptor
#

what is roblox's TC now

#

270?

supple nova
#

250

north raptor
#

shiiiiiiit

daring mirage
#

Was 250 a return offer

supple nova
#

idk i think so

#

its 210 recurring

daring mirage
#

Damn still high enough to make me depressed when i get rejected feelsbad

north raptor
#

^^

supple nova
#

no offer so far Sadge

north raptor
#

how long ago did you do the final?

supple nova
#

last tues

north raptor
#

shittt

#

maybe they are waiting for me to take it

supple nova
#

maybe

#

when is it for u

north raptor
#

next week

supple nova
#

ehh probably not

#

they said they will get back 1-2 weeks

#

when did u schedule

north raptor
#

a week ago

#

also my friend got the offer last year around decemember

#

so idk if they have alot of space or now

#

not

#

maybe they hire 50 devs?

#

50x 250k is alot tho so idk if they are

daring mirage
#

If they make us wait 3 months to hear back again im gonna be so pissed

supple nova
#

they have a shit ton of money

grim moon
#

technicals I finished with like 20 mins to spare but the behavioral I have no clue

digital quiver
#

i got my scheduling for next week

#

and in my email they said they would get back within 1-2 weeks

#

so if u guys did it a week ago u should hear sometime this or next week right?

supple nova
#

@grim moon for both?

grim moon
#

yeah

#

so just had a casual convo with the interviewer after

#

didn't vibe well with the first but the second seemed chill

supple nova
#

Dang

#

Couldn't finish second q

#

But wasn't expected to I think

#

Interviewer said my approach a lot more efficient than other approaches that he saw

stable basalt
#

does roblox only have one round of interviews after the code signal?

oak verge
#

I think so

#

idk

#

tho

#

this interview session is super long

#

resembles a final

stable basalt
#

a technical + behavioral right?

oak verge
#

i think 2 technical?

stable basalt
#

just an hour and 15

oak verge
#

idk lemme check

#

2 technical interviews, a behavioral interview, and a vision/values behavioral interview.

bronze pawn
stable basalt
#

oh whoops I'm in the wrong place

oak verge
#

lol

bronze pawn
#

lmaoo

oak verge
#

goodbye

daring mirage
#

Another day goes by WazowskiStare

grim moon
#

yup no responses ig

#

I'll follow up on Friday if still nothing

bronze pawn
#

they just told me 'one week turnaround'

#

is this complete cap then?

grim moon
#

its been a week for me now

daring mirage
#

Said 1-2 for me

grim moon
#

screw it I'm gonna follow up now

north raptor
grim moon
#

or then they decide that they don't want me because I'd probably go to Jane street either way lol

#

alr I followed up lets see what happens now

oak verge
#

they gave me my final time today

digital quiver
#

like when ur gonna do final?

#

or when ur gonna hear back

oak verge
#

when im gonna do final

#

they gave 2 time frame options

#

4h long smh

digital quiver
#

ah isnt like an hour or so of it a break

bronze pawn
#

Yeah it’s only 45,45,45,15 for the actual interviews

digital quiver
#

that seems very manageable

bronze pawn
#

Big fan of 45 min interviews

gusty wing
#

Fuck no response today either

grim moon
#

yep no response on the follow up either

supple nova
#

just waiting for the sweet rejection

daring mirage
#

Roblox pls

daring mirage
#

Tomorrow’s gonna be the day we hear back i can feel it monkaHoly

gusty wing
#

It's actually sad because I can't even negotiate using other offers because Roblox is just so much more superior in TC lmfao

daring mirage
#

Todays gonna be the day friends already got 2 rejections today roblox gonna finish me off with the 3rd

digital quiver
#

Oh darn

#

Did your friends do it last week?

strange oriole
#

i think our friend meant "today is gonna be yhe day friends. [I've] already gotten 2 rejections today."

#

sorry to hear that ty44 my dude

#

None of us want the grind to continue

digital quiver
#

Oh my bad for misunderstanding

oak verge
#

is the final hard

#

i havent taken it yet but i dont really care to take it tbh, roblox and amazon are nearly equal to me

#

so im not sure if i should take it, i guess worst case it will be practice. but the only other thing im really invested in is stripe, and the process isn't LC-based

grim moon
#

wait why is amazon and roblox equal for u?

strange oriole
#

F

#

Rejected

supple nova
#

F

oak verge
#

rippp

oak verge
#

i also don't like their tech stack, i know they use lua a lot. i think they use something else like C#? or F#? idk.

#

i've been matched with a team at amazon that does really cool stuff and uses python/java/react which would be more preferable there

grim moon
#

hmm interesting but roblox isn't really game dev from what I got from their interview

oak verge
#

also salary difference isn't THAT important at that level

oak verge
#

yea its not really game dev

#

also idk anything about san mateo. i need to do some research

grim moon
#

I have amazon rn but thought roblox was 10× better

#

but I'm just basing off people's opinions haven't interned either place

oak verge
#

ah okay

#

i have a friend who interned at roblox

#

and he said it wa sreally nice and the people were cool

#

& that they used lua mainly

#

pay nice is af tho

#

i wonder how hard final is

supple nova
#

@grim moon

#

u got it?

grim moon
#

nope still ghosted

#

@supple nova u heard back?

daring mirage
grim moon
#

@strange oriole @supple nova when did yall interview?

supple nova
#

tuesday

#

last week

#

hbu

grim moon
#

same but no response yet

#

I just wanna hear back lol

daring mirage
#

Im tired of getting rejected and being told nothing sadge

supple nova
#

i think i did bad on behavioral

#

but

#

the technicals were easy

#

for how much they screened

#

pretty sure everyone passed with flying colors

daring mirage
#

Yeah think the bar raiser was the most important and don’t think i did good on it

supple nova
#

i doubt they give u feedbak

#

especially if u did well on technicals

#

u had to have had truly impressive ideas on bar raiser i g

daring mirage
#

Feelsbad i wish they told us more about what it would be like so we could prep

#

Wasnt expecting to have to use my brain for a behavioral round

daring mirage
#

Intern heard back 3 days after interview WazowskiStare

grim moon
#

I'm probably guessing if they are taking this long we're getting the L

#

but idk why they can't just give it to us faster

supple nova
#

Lol I think u'll get it since u are the outlier here

oak verge
#

could you give an example

#

ah i see

#

thanks

daring mirage
#

Ok today is gonna be the day no more games prayge

grim moon
#

I doubt it we're ghosted

gusty wing
#

Lmfao we’re waiting until December

daring mirage
grim moon
#

yup no response

daring mirage
#

I wonder if the others who heard back had a different receuiter

grim moon
#

@daring mirage if u don't mind could u dm me yr recruiter

daring mirage
#

Not letting this thread die until we all get our rejects 😤

digital quiver
#

just wondering, whats the diff between bar raiser and vision/values again

#

they both seem behavioral but is bar raiser some behaviorals + that open ended problem

grim moon
#

another day no response

daring mirage
#

If i don’t hear back by 5pm pst ill email my recruiter

#

My profile pic increases my luck by 50%

grim moon
#

lmfao

#

it'll be 2 weeks tmrw

daring mirage
#

Feeling like this rn ngl

bronze pawn
#

20 minutes prayge

daring mirage
#

pog someone posted on intern channel saying they got offer today

grim moon
#

maybe they forgot about ft lol

daring mirage
#

How is it possible that theyve given out ZERO ft offers

#

Are they hiring like only 5 kids

grim moon
#

I'm not sure, they aren't even rejecting

north raptor
north raptor
#

but that sounds about right, hrt only hires around 25 core dev and 30 algo this year too

daring mirage
digital quiver
#

@wicked nest

wicked nest
#

uwu

north raptor
digital quiver
#

uwu

grim moon
#

43 seems like a decent amount tbh, I would guess at least one of those would be on this discord

daring mirage
gusty wing
#

This is actually super insulting ngl

#

if they’re doing the shit they did last year then I’m just rejecting myself lmao

bronze pawn
#

on the interview intro call this morning they said 2-3 weeks after interview lol

oak verge
#

bruh

#

my final is this friday

#

but my offer deadline is next thursday

#

should i just not do final

gusty wing
#

Can’t hurt

#

Maybe your results will get jammed in with ours

oak verge
#

true

#

good practice as well.

#

i haven't had a single technical interview yet

#

except for the mock interview hosted by my cs department that i just attended, in which i received "reverse a linked list"

gusty wing
#

Wait fr?

#

what ended up happening with twilio?

summer plank
#

but they also said they were doubling or something over the next year

#

idk maybe i misheard

daring mirage
summer plank
#

nah

#

i wanted to ask but didnt

#

there were 9 people in the call fwiw

digital quiver
#

I didn't even have an intro call link

#

Smh

grim moon
#

they changed 1-2 weeks to 2-3 rip

daring mirage
#

2 more intern offers WazowskiStare

digital quiver
#

I think interns prob have less rounds than ft

#

Maybe takes time for all the debrief to go through

oak verge
#

what were ur finals like?

#

what's the bar raiser like? is that LC?

#

also was there any sys design

bronze pawn
#

one of the easiest processes for this TC

#

they did say again tho "we screen really hard to get to this point" lol

digital quiver
#

makes sense

daring mirage
#

This is so sad

daring mirage
#

Still nothing WazowskiStare

bronze pawn
#

@daring mirage did u follow up?

daring mirage
grim moon
#

grim moon

digital quiver
oak verge
#

damnm bro

bronze pawn
#

@grim moon do you know if this VP chat is a standard additional round?

grim moon
#

not sure, I don't know anyone else on the discord that has it

#

but they say chat a couple times, idk if its like a casual chat or an interview

bronze pawn
#

i see

#

you scheduled it yet?

grim moon
#

yeah haven't gotten a confirmation on when yet tho
