Roku Environment Employee Reviews | Comparably
Roku Claimed Company
Roku pioneered streaming for the TV, and we aspire to power every TV in the world. We developed a streaming platform that delivers a best-in-class user experience. At the heart of the Roku platform is our proprietary operating system, the Roku OS, which we built from the ground up. We believe that all television will be streamed, and that all TVs and set-top-boxes will be powered by software-based operating systems that provide a dramatically better user experience than has existed historically for the TV. read more

Roku Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

openness and flexibility, sense that 'we are in this together' collaboration instead of competitive (inter-company) with bold commitment for industry excellence and commitment to best serve customers

Good live work life balance

Great People fun attitude don't take work too seriously.

Review from IT Dept

Free lunch and ability to interact with people over lunch on the rare days I don't eat at my desk

People are 100% authentically themselves, and every level. We chat about what we're watching on TV, our families, vacations, etc. People want to get to know you as a person, while also valuing your opinion regarding the work we have on our plate.

The company is full of very smart people that are straight-forward and don't have hidden agendas. People work very hard at the office, but all leave a reasonable time - so good work/life balance. Also, people are very authentic and down-to-earth - they know how to work hard with a sense of humor.

People at Roku are pushed to take on a lot and have ownership of their work - which creates a positive, proactive environment.

Review from IT Dept

Very, very fast paced and lots of unpredictability. You have to be a fast learner and fast worker to succeed.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

new CEO and leadership team

Better treating employees time. Clear product direction.

Review from IT Dept

Invest in employees with support for education and training
