      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      20 Aug 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Roblox

      Interview

      So I got an email for interview from Roblox with a recruiter. The recruiter was 5 minutes late to the meeting. But additionally, he got the wrong person to invite to the interview. He should not invite me but another person. When in the interview, the recruiter showed that he should have sent invitation to another person, because the work experience and email he mentioned are not mine. All of this was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful to candidate.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Roblox in May 2026

      Interview

      The recruiter I worked with Nate Leslie. He was polite in the phone calls but the follow-ups and conversations were very poor. Lot of thrashing in emails and correspondance. Long period of silence and sudden follow ups with fast requests to interview quickly. There were time that the onsite required me to be in the office and then that was changed. The director level interview was nothing like what the recruiter said it was. He was completely wrong. NO follow up after the interview when results were not good or any feedback or suggestions. I did close to 6-7 rounds of interviews. How about a 15 min phone call to tell me what happened and why Roblox did not go with me?

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -> Deep dive on Ads Project -> Director level was very strong behavioral mapped to company culture. -> Technical was multi-round engineering on directory folder to a LRU cache. -> Coding question got more difficult with each round including multi-threading.
