Pros

Everyone really believes in the product and are passionate about what they do. Smart people, most of whom are down to earth (not too many egos) and Riot does well in keeping their employees happy. If you enjoy constantly being challenged, growing as a person, a fast-paced environment and learning, you'll get all of that here.

Cons

TONS of work which makes for regular long hours ... doesn't always feel like a "con", but might not work for all people.

Hi -- Thanks a bunch for the review. Glassdoor is a great way for candidates to get an accurate sense of what it's like to work at Riot, and so a diversity of voices on here is great. Regarding your "advice to senior management," it would be incredibly helpful if you could email Marc and Brandon directly regarding who, specifically, you believe is a poor leader, with examples of poor leadership, so that they can investigate and take action. Feel free to do this anonymously with a throwaway email account if you're fearful of attaching your name to the email for whatever reason. Maybe write it up as a letter and leave it on their keyboards at their desks, or even mail it to their attention at our business address. Whatever contact method you prefer, please do get your critical insight into their hands. It may be the case that they're *not* aware of what you allude to here. If you want to see Riot improve, you'll have to take action when you see a problem that needs fixing.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
