Pros

- Autonomy (in a local office I've never experienced something like this) - Empowerment (to work on the things we believe are the most important for our players - Riot has still tons of potential to grow - If you are driven, smart, and you rock, there are tons of career opportunities in Riot worldwide - Amazing office in Sydney but also great offices all around the world - So much talent and passionate people to work with

Cons

- There is always more work to be done than people doing it (not sure it is a cons) - Australia is far away. Communication is more challenging with other offices

Learning to Riot in Sydney

Pros

I have been with Riot in Sydney for under a year. It is great to be with a company where you can be more than your job - part of the whole business, community and experience. Players Experience First- this is not just some fad word thrown about by hr with little belief. Every decision, initiative, action riot does is weighed against the value it will add to the player experience - and we are all players. The role is bigger than your job- You will do your job and there is the expectation of delivering on it but you will also play lots of games, you will be part of projects not linked to your core role, you will do esports, you will be part of the community, you can have a say and you can be part of everything going on. Opportunity to have impact- this is not an office which is just an extension of US HQ where we salute and do what is told. The office is free to make the decision they believe is right for the players. This means in whatever job you have in riot you can have impact- you will collaborate with others in the office and internationally but you make the decision on what is the best way forward. We trust you - you are expected to deliver but no one is going to be micro managing you. The hiring bar is high and continually rising- you will work with great, passionate, serious, professional people. This is not a tech company, this is a gaming company, and yes, we play games at work.

Cons

Obviously if you don’t like what I have said above then maybe riot will not suit. You control your role and your path but it is not a 9-5 where you just do your job, you have to want more than that and you have to be flexible and comfortable with change. Senior Leadership- we are still a growing office, startup mentality, finding our way, it does mean we are lacking some senior leadership and experience and hiring is carefully done at riot which has created pains as we look for the right people. Hiring - recruitment and hiring is painfully slow - be patient, be determined.
