Riot Games reviews

The most passionate and smart people I have ever worked with. Rioters work hard together to do cool things because they think its cool, not just because its a job. Leadership, starting with the CEO, have ambitious visions for the future, and practical ideas of how to get there. No egos, just a bunch of people who care about the same things, and want to help Riot create good experiences for gamers. It is amazing to work with people who care so much about what they do. It's a great place for someone who is a gamer, or has the DNA of a gamer. Getting to play games during work is a great plus (though this doesn't mean you should neglect your responsibilities). Riot also cares about the Rioters who work here, and while the perks aren't overly extravagant in Hong Kong, such as smoothies on Tuesdays and massages on Thursdays, they are nice little reminders that Riot appreciates our hard work. Riot has a very flat structure, which means that once you join, you can be empowered to take on responsibilities and project fairly quickly. This is great for people who want to hit the ground running. Your opportunities at Riot are not as limited by hierarchy or bureaucracy, it's really a place where, if you perform, you will be able to take on more responsibilities and leadership roles. The Hong Kong office is unique in that it is still very much an entrepreneurial atmosphere, but it has the resources to lean back on of the entire Riot. This is great because we can focus here on doing great things, and not worry about having the resources to get there. Overall, it's been a great experience working here thus far, and while at times the workload has been difficult, I find myself always excited to go to work, to learn from fellow Rioters (and I've learned a lot), to challenge myself with responsibilities I would never get a chance to take on in previous jobs, to duo queue with other Rioters, and for smoothies on Tuesday mornings.

- Riot treats all of its employees incredibly well, from top tier benefits across the board, to the state of the art campus, free gourmet lunch and dinner. I really can't imagine a better place to work in games (or in tech around the greater LA area). - Very strong on culture, which in my opinion is a positive thing. Company heavily focuses on player empathy across the board, even folks in non game production / design related roles (i.e. finance or recruiting) are passionate gamers. - Feels like the company has a ton of upside. In the history of games no one has been as invested in trying to be as player focused as Riot. It's a brave new world but could mean that there's still a lot of long term value to unlock. - On that note, the founders are both passionate gamers and have an incredibly long view on everything. It's never about how to take short cuts, but rather how do we do it right and make it awesome for years to come.
