Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Roblox en feb 2018
Entrevista
Rbolox hires a third party company to conduct the "phone" screening interview. I joked whether it would be acceptable if I also hired a third party candidate to take the interview for me.
Thinking about that lately, the approach is too impersonal. After the interview, the hiring manager and engineers watch the interview recording only and take a decision. That process is very impersonal. It allows people who are good at acting to shine and OTOH drives introvert engineers into a hole. And, it's a fact that good engineers are generally the later.
All that hints about the company being a bit careless about capturing the best talent on the market.

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.

Design a leaderboard service that supports tens of millions of concurrent players. Cover top-K queries, neighbor-rank queries, partial sharding, and consistency tradeoffs.
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.
