The Roku culture

Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company’s success rather than their own. They try to surround themselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. They appreciate a sense of humor. They believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. They’re independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku, you’ll be part of a company that’s changing how the world watches TV.

They have a unique culture that they are proud of. They think of themselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. They come up with the solution, but the solution isn’t real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives them a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
