Amazing Growth Opportunities

Pros

The company keeps true in striving to be the most player-focused company in the world, even in the corporate functions. People here are genuinely good people who want to do the best that they can in their role, for the company and players. People want colleagues who can level up the company/team, even when that means they would be considered a lower level.

Cons

Due to high standards of candidates, some teams are under-staffed. The company is still growing tremendously so the company is evolving continuously. It's hard to keep up with all of the changes when a lot of the departments do their own things.

Pros

I signed up to deal with the massive amounts of data that League of Legends collects. So if you are a data nerd you will appreciate: - volume and diversity of data - access to state of the art tools related to data crunching and analysis - the high value placed on how to turn data into a better experience for players General pros include - relaxed and friendly atmosphere - amazing potential for growth in all areas (profession, management, etc) - every level of Riot is keen to make both the player experience and employee experience better, and it's genuine.

Cons

- LA traffic is terrible. - High bar for culture fit is a good thing, but ultimately means sometimes there is more work to do than people available to do it. - Slightly family unfriendly (some meetings are scheduled between 5 and 7 pm, which conflicts with your kids schedule). Riot is getting better at this however.

Pros

Riot is the best place I have ever worked. Your leads don't tell you what to do. They tell you what problems to solve. Mistakes are encouraged as long as you learn from them. Your coworkers hold your work to a high standard but would still take a bullet for you.

Cons

This is a place for self-starters. If you need structure you will find it chaotic. The independence only works because of a principle of alignment, and alignment takes lots of communication and meetings. Feels like we move slower than we should at times.
