      Pros

      Open PTO, Riot Play Fund, great work space, amazing work space, fantastic people, ... the list goes on and on. It's also located in Santa Monica, which is one of my favorite places.

      Cons

      Only thing I could say is that it takes a long time to get things done here. You've gotta push hard to get the simplest things going.

      Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I'm with the team responsible for making sure that orientation (aka denewbification) is an excellent experience for every new Rioter. As a team, we'll huddle on your feedback and examine the data that we collect via surveys. We'll take a look at the sessions that may be candidates for modification or pruning. Feel free to reach out to me directly anytime if you have additional feedback on how to improve the experience. - KC Hicks

      Pros

      Really awesome culture with a great desire to build a world-class, global organization

      Cons

      Shortage of senior leaders, and many inexperienced managers creates some headaches, but managed really well. A lot of challenges are those expected for a global organization in experiencing hyper growth.

      Pros

      - It REALLY is about the player - 99% of Riot's decisions start off with the question: "What would the player want?" I can confidently say that our players truly are the #1 priority. - Empowerment >> we're not necessarily a flat org as we are an empowering org. Riot actually allows you to make a difference. You're expected to get involved and make a difference. If you're just simply "maintaining," then you don't belong at Riot. - Company cares >> Riot goes above and beyond to make the work life as comfortable as possible for Rioters. Literally, every company I've worked for has been so concerned with managing the bottom line it adversely affects the employee (and player/customer). - Opportunity >> is abundant. At other places I've been, had one role and did one job. Riot allows you the opportunity to get involved. If you can contribute and bring value, then do it!

      Cons

      Demanding >> the industry is fast and Riot is FASTER. Work life blend leans towards the work side but not as much as other reviews indicate. There's a lot that needs to get done but folks that that put in the extra effort are willing participants. Along with that note, I do find that Rioters are often terrible with time management. You will commonly see folks work 10+ hours a day, that's primarily due to their inability to utilize their time effectively. Lack of standards >> Riot is almost adverse to standards at work. This creates a HUGE inconsistency from one team to another. Because of this, it is an unnecessary challenge for support organizations to keep up with the incessantly changing needs, tools, protocol, etc. Squeaky wheel >> gets the grease. Riot's culture is more conducive to being overly vocal. The con here is the potential isolation of a personality type that can bring value.
