Roblox

Our values are at the core of everything we do – from how we run the business, to the builders we hire, to the platform we have created:

Respect the Community — We consider our impact on the world, strive to make decisions with everyone’s best interests in mind, and communicate authentically. We prioritize our community before company, company before team, and team before individual.
We are Responsible — We are empowered and responsible for both the intended and unintended consequences of our actions.
Take the Long View — We drive innovation by setting a long term vision, even when making short term decisions.
Get Stuff Done — We drive execution every day by taking initiative and relentlessly iterating towards long-term goals.

As we have grown, so too have our principles naturally evolved. This next iteration focuses and clarifies our principles, which include:

Fairness
We strive to operate in a way that is consistent and fair for all. We believe this is the best way to achieve our Vision and Mission.
Wherever we evaluate people, whether for prioritization, assessment, promotion, or compensation, we run consistent and fair processes for all.

Belonging
Together, we are building towards a common Mission, guided by universally held Values and Principles. Going beyond just inclusion and nurturing a true sense of belonging is our responsibility, foundational and essential for realizing our ambitious vision.
By fostering an environment where everyone is supported to develop their skills and talents, we empower all employees to contribute meaningfully to our collective success.

Diversity
We are dedicated to cultivating a workforce that reflects a wide range of experiences and perspectives.
We provide tools and resources to enable creators to reach diverse audiences on our platform, fostering an ecosystem where all are welcomed with optimism and civility.

Hiring
Every candidate must increase our ability to innovate and execute, while embodying our values and principles. We evaluate all candidates with equal standards. Age, race, gender, and other protected status are never part of our evaluation of a candidate.
Through training and thoughtful system design, we work to eliminate bias in our conversations and decision making processes.
We continuously adapt and refine our assessment strategy to evaluate the broad and nuanced range of skills and abilities that are necessary to succeed at Roblox.
We dedicate resources to building relationships with candidates from less represented groups at the top of our recruiting funnel.
We track and share the composition of our workforce, but we do not set targets.

Leadership
We expect leaders at Roblox to embody our values and principles, and to lead by example.
We assess managers and leaders on the results they produce. We consider their performance in driving execution and innovation, and in creating and sustaining highly functioning teams.

Shaping the Future
We work to contribute to a more fair and equitable world by building a platform that brings people together from different backgrounds and enables them to share their perspectives in a civil manner, express their creativity, learn, and build businesses.

AI Insights:
Roblox is a place where brilliant ICs build impressive things despite leadership, not because of it. The CEO's latest fever dream becomes next quarter's top priority, making 6-month planning an optimistic fiction. WLB is genuinely good on most teams - as long as you're not in ads or discovery, where the culture is pure grind theater. Great food, smart colleagues, and a fascinating product make it bearable; just don't expect your manager's manager to have any idea what you're working on.
