Was given a sql screen. Answered all questions correctly and was given very positive feedback after by the interviewer. For whatever reason I did not hear anything back at all even with follow up emails. The exact same position is still up on their website 6 months later and being reposted regularly on LinkedIn.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Roku (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
Recruiter screening: Very straight forward with a lot of technical questions (a bit too technical for traditional recruiter screenings so be ready was surprised when the recruiter asked me a couple medium level SQL questions about CTEs and Joins)
Technical interview: Hackerrank interview, you can actually run the code and see if your output is correct, 4 problems total, I got 2 correct and two incorrect but close but still did not pass this round
For the technical interview they will ask questions related to the role the team does so study questions related to that
Got ghosted by the recruiter after asking for specific feedback
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Roku (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
First round is a 45 minute SQL interview conducted via Hackerrank. The problems increase in difficulty as you go on solving questions. The questions were relatively straightforward SQL questions that test on ability to write JOINS, aggregate data etc. However, to my surprise after spending over 55 minutes in the interview solving SQL questions of varying difficulty (with some assistance) from the interviewer I received a fail result. This was surprising. Do not waste your time, there are other companies out there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions on a single database table that required applying filters on dates, write aggregate functions, etc. Nothing too complex.
