Great Perks, Boring Work

Business Outlook

Pros

Riot does a good job with their employer perks. They offer so much from free food, great health plans, company activities, etc.

Cons

The code is a dumpster fire. Not a single person knows what’s going on. Almost everyone on my team started within the last year. No one wants to spend time fixing horrible architecture and so everything is bandaids on bandaids. Your entire job is to make new bandaids. You will never do anything new and fun, just be assigned bugs to fix that are hard to track down because there’s basically no documentation or unit tests for anything.

Great people, incompetent management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and perks are great. The people doing the work are genuinely passionate and skilled. A lot of focus on work/life balance.

Cons

Middle management is staffed with people who "failed upwards", for lack of a better term. Be prepared for your direct managers to be completely absent and ineffective. Self-direction and problem solving is a must to be able to succeed here.
