Pros

Everyone really believes in the product and are passionate about what they do. Smart people, most of whom are down to earth (not too many egos) and Riot does well in keeping their employees happy. If you enjoy constantly being challenged, growing as a person, a fast-paced environment and learning, you'll get all of that here.

Cons

TONS of work which makes for regular long hours ... doesn't always feel like a "con", but might not work for all people.

Hi -- Thanks a bunch for the review. Glassdoor is a great way for candidates to get an accurate sense of what it's like to work at Riot, and so a diversity of voices on here is great. Regarding your "advice to senior management," it would be incredibly helpful if you could email Marc and Brandon directly regarding who, specifically, you believe is a poor leader, with examples of poor leadership, so that they can investigate and take action. Feel free to do this anonymously with a throwaway email account if you're fearful of attaching your name to the email for whatever reason. Maybe write it up as a letter and leave it on their keyboards at their desks, or even mail it to their attention at our business address. Whatever contact method you prefer, please do get your critical insight into their hands. It may be the case that they're *not* aware of what you allude to here. If you want to see Riot improve, you'll have to take action when you see a problem that needs fixing.

Pros

Player focus, some of the coolest games on the planet, Riot does a great job of creating an environment where people can succeed and thrive

Cons

Crunch is on the rise, fiscal discipline on exploration is still too loose, lots of layers of management
