Riot Games reviews

Only place I've ever worked where it truly feels like every voice is being heard and considered on some level, regardless of position or seniority. Riot is making a sincere and concerted effort to address the reported, and very serious, negatives. I get to work with some of the best and brightest talent in the industry and show up to a place that feels like it truly values me. Employees are encouraged to take time off for any number of reasons to make sure and maintain a healthy work/life balance. Additionally, the open culture encourages you to make time to meet and build relationships with people that you may never cross paths with otherwise. Of course there are also the excellent perks of unlimited pto, full cafeteria and coffee bar (at LAX at least), as well as all the other cool things you can find in any number of published articles.

Riot is one of those rare companies where the mission and vision are more than words on a page. We all truly believe in what we're doing and our focus on players lies at the core of every decision we make. Riot is "tough" in the sense that you'll experience an uncomfortable feeling of growth that helps you improve as a professional and a person. If you can adapt, give and receive feedback, and work with the people around you, you'll find a rewarding career at Riot. Riot has pros and cons, and unlike other companies I've worked at, we're aware of our shortcomings and actively working on finding the optimal culture, structure, philosophy, etc. to help us ship the best products. I'm endlessly impressed with our leaders' ability to realize that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and weigh that in our cultural and product decisions. Have there been missteps? Yes. Do we learn and improve? Yes. -Autonomy - you'll be given ownership over large problems and expected to deliver with the help of others -Passion - everyone who works at Riot cares deeply about players -Feedback / open-mindedness - feedback is an expectation. No one is above criticism, and your merit is based on what you do, not who you are, how long you've been here, or how good you are at hiding -Agility - doing something "because that's how we've always done it" isn't good enough at Riot. We constantly measure our impact, decisions, and processes to adapt to the current environment -PEOPLE - the people at Riot are unbelievably talented and humble. Every time I talk to a new person, I learn about some fascinating area of expertise, and everyone's so willing to share their experience -Transparency - Riot leadership is extremely accessible and open about our strategy and roadmap. Every couple of weeks we sit down and do an AMA and talk about challenges, products, etc. This extends to teams as well. The environment is very "open door”
