Update. For all people who can’t apply yet. This is not the only opportunity. We plan to keep our internship program running for years ahead. If you can’t apply now, there will be more positions in future.
The reason for the age requirement is in large part due to the legal restrictions of people under 18. Someone under 18:
May not be eligible to work by their home state’s law
May not be eligible to work by California law
May require additional, painful paperwork in order to be eligible to work
Users under 18 also aren’t statistically as mature and may not cope well with a working environment. As an employee, you have to fly out to San Mateo and live there to work at ROBLOX – you can’t work from home. I’m not sure how many parents would be a fan of their 13-year-old living on their own, states away.
There are many people under the age of 18, specifically high school students, that live within the Silicon Valley, I don’t see why they don’t let them have that internship opportunity.
From my understanding, typically a marketing internship happens in the summer. Of course, future plans could change and there may be an opportunity at another time!
When would this be running and what if you’ve already finished university? I finished a bachelors in July (though I don’t graduate til January). What level of C++ is required too? I’ll be at RDC UK tomorrow and will probably be going to the intern breakout session.
Edit: I applied in February (I think?) 2016 for last summer on the client team. I didn’t get in and I think that was probably due to not having much experience with C++, but my friend who applied and got sent the testing form showed me it and I didn’t have difficulty solving the problems.
What are the opportunities for full-time positions after the internship? Also, is this open to recent college graduates who haven’t yet applied or gotten acceptance for a MS program?
Thanks for responding so quickly. Is Roblox requiring face-to-face interviews for this and is there a set range of dates that you’re looking at for starting and/or ending?
