Entrevista
I was approached by one recruiter and asked to fill out a questionnaire and send my resume. The questions were all experience based, nothing technical. Then I was approached by another recruiter who wanted a phone interview a week later. The phone interview was fine, all the normal questions:
What languages do you program in?
What is the most difficult bug you have tackled?
What do you like/dislike about your current job? etc...
At the end of the phone interview I was asked a series of technical questions that were moderately challenging but I missed one on threading and was asked another that I don't remember because I did not clearly understand it. Despite my experience developing and maintaining enterprise applications this was a problem for them. Roku is looking for a very particular type of engineer, your experience is not going to matter, only your ability to give book answers to language framework details and OOP concepts.

None were that difficult, just kicking myself for not studying more before the interview.

Recruiter reached out via linkedin.
Had a really bad experience in the first technical round.
You walk into an interview hoping for a fair conversation. What you get instead is someone on the other side trying to prove they are smarter, louder, or more important than you.
They ask vague questions.
They interrupt everytime.
They make you feel small for not reading their mind.
I really regret appearing for the interview at Roku as it was really disrespectful.
I searched and found out that panel provide one to one interview prep and I think that’s why more than my actuall skills and knowledge he was interested in if I follow the same approach he teaches.

It was supposed to be DSA but felt like panel is taking hiring manager round.
He was a also a senior engineer but acted like a manager.

Talk with Recruiter, tech talk and Hackerrank with Engineer. Engineer interviewer offered little feedback during an implementation discussion. I justified my selection as being best for a time-constrained interview and he agreed. The interviewer was playing around in my code editor while I was typing, causing distractions and additional errors in my work. Finally, the interviewer was extremely dissatisfied that I did not use the other option that I had discussed, and that I did not select Python when I was told to solve in any language.

Recruiter called me and asked some general questions related to work experience, tech stacks etc. Later they asked about renumeration drawn from the current org: to which I responded saying 'need to check with HR regarding any NDA if they have pertaining to salary disclosure'. I also felt current renumeration being irrelavent question for next role and asked what's the comp. band that this role is entitled to. To which recruiter told without current comp. info, they won't be able to proceed further and rejected on spot.
