Nailed the Case Study, Still Rejected After Round One

(QS 50-100 school, physics PhD, desperately job hunting.) First round, technical interview, 60 minutes. The interviewer asked about my resume for 5 to 10 minutes first (my own work also has some connection to DS). Then two simple pandas data-processing questions using a bit of basic statistical test knowledge. I didn't need to run test cases, I just had to make the interviewer understand my code.…

A Brutal OA With Robot-Building and Factory Games

First-time poster here. After I got the OA, I asked the career center for an extension but didn't get one, so I ended up squeezing it into one evening of Thanksgiving break, a week before finals deadlines. After I finished I felt like my English was terrible and my IQ had dropped :((( It seriously wrecked my mood for the rest of finals prep. 25 minutes building a robot car. There were two rounds…

A Four-Part OA With Two In-Platform Games

Roblox's DS summer intern OA has 4 parts: the first two parts are both playing games on Roblox's own platform, the third part is basically behavioral multiple choice, and the fourth part is coding. Part 1: a build-a-car game, 25 minutes total; 2 sections, 13 minutes each, and each section has two different terrains. You need to install different parts on a car to get through both terrains, and th…

Python, SQL, and Rejection at the Hiring Manager Round

I applied online among lots of other applications, and HR reached out afterward. The overall process was HR screen → technical → HM. I failed at the HM round and didn't make it to the onsite. The HR phone screen was fairly standard, mainly asking: Self-introduction. Why are you leaving? Why Roblox? What are you looking for in your next role? The technical interview lasted an hour and mainly cover…

Gamified Assessment and a Meta-Style Product Sense Case, No Offer

This application season I applied for Roblox's PhD DS Summer Intern position. I didn't end up passing, but I felt the team's overall background was pretty solid, and the assessment was a bit different from the usual, so I wanted to share it here. Timeline: 11/23/2024 — applied online, got the assessment the same day 12/19/2024 — submitted the assessment 02/12/2025 — HR reached out 02/27/2025 — vi…

An Onsite Derailed by a Disrespectful PM

Roblox is a really hot pre-IPO unicorn, and lately they're hiring a lot, so a lot of candidates are interviewing there. I get it, a lot of people want in, but I have to complain a bit — the experience was, if anything, worse than others I've seen on this board. After the IPO the stock will probably pop, but long-term it's genuinely hard to say. Phone screen 1: HM The hiring manager was pretty nic…

What are interview experiences?

An interview experience is a candidate's own account of a hiring loop — not a question bank entry. It tells you the shape of the process: how many rounds there were, what each round actually tested, how long the gaps between them ran, and what the recruiter said at the end. That context is the part a question list cannot give you.

How to read them

Weight recent write-ups more heavily — interview loops change, often within a year. Read several for the same company and role rather than one: a single account tells you what one interviewer asked, while five tell you what the bar is. Note the outcome badge too, since a rejection write-up usually explains the gap far more precisely than an offer one.

Likes must come from established accounts; like-for-like swaps and likes from your own second account are not paid. Write it while the details are fresh — the round order, the exact prompts, and how much time you were given are what the next reader needs.
