      Director Interview

      28 Jan 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Roku in Oct 2014

      Interview

      Initial screening call with recruitment admin, followed by a screening chat with the recruiting manager at a nearby Starbucks (I live very close to the offices, so suggested face-to-face being better) There followed a 3-hour in-person session with 5 different people of various levels from the recruiting manager, their boss, and several peers / customers of the role in question. Level of interviewing was mixed, from the more senior interviewer being calm, insightful and intelligent, through to other more junior interviewers obviously not having prepared for the 30 minutes they had with me. Classic questions such as "what is your biggest weakness" and "tell me why I should hire you" actually got trotted out... Generally a reasonably good interview time, although the office where I was based was pretty deserted, which made me wonder where everyone was in the middle of a workday. Left with a promise of being contacted in the next couple of days. I sent a thankyou / follow-up note the next day but heard nothing. The week finished and the next one came, with no news. I sent another follow-up mail which didn't get a response. So I called the hiring manager (she'd given me her business card) - no answer, so I left a voicemail asking for a quick update on their process. Nothing. Eventually, I got a mail back from the hiring manager 9 weeks after the interviews after I send another mail pretty much berating them for being unprofessional, to say that they'd chosen someone else with a more relevant background. Perfectly fine and understandable, but not the 2 month delay in communication.

      Application

      I interviewed at Roku

      Interview

      They had several rounds with the last one in person. They gave me a free roku device, which was a nice touch. The process felt pretty sterile, not a lot of personal interaction aside from going through the motions

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Roku (New York, NY) in Nov 2021

      Interview

      I thought that Roku was a serious company, and I must say that I am highly disappointed. I have been through six interviews, during each I had to answer multiple hypothesis, and spent many hours in the hiring process without receiving a response. When I reached out to their HR she scheduled a call with me but never called and did not send an email either. I, therefore, decided to remove my application for the director role at Roku.

      Question 1

      Each interviewer asked between 2-3 hypothesis during one hour.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Roku (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      The interview process was smooth from applying online, phone screening to scheduling 1:1 Zoom meetings with the hiring team. The interviews consist of detailed hypothetical questions. My sense is that the hiring manager is gathering intel as he is still figuring out the team structure and goals. Unfortunately, communication went silent after I completed the interview loop despite a heartful thank you note and follow-ups. I understand priority changes and people are busy, it’d still be courteous to provide an update especially after the candidate has invested time and effort engaging in the interview process. Perhaps it’s a representation of the company culture? I seem to see the patterns based on others’ feedback on this thread – ghosting candidates.
