Riot Games reviews

-no bonus structure, which is beyond odd, especially for a company in the games industry. -lots of "rah rah" attitude around accomplishments while muttered in the same sentence to "stay humble" -manifesto is used as a shield for bad behaviors, especially by managers -productivity is non-existent during the day for some teams because all they do is have meetings and play LoL -one game/product, etc creates a lot of whispering and toxicity around new products as there's a strong belief that most things will never see the light of day -teams spin up and down at break-neck speed, creating huge communication gaps and unreliability around ownership -the growing pains are frequent and totally unchecked by Senior Leadership -bro culture is everywhere and sometimes downright offensive to anyone not cis-white-male -high turnover, especially in the last 12 months- some people who have been with the company for 2-5 years are leaving, which is a huge red flag Basically, it is/was a great company, but currently it's devolving into a place where either you work hard for little individual respect, appreciation, or advancement or else you're totally content to work a 10-7 job with great perks where you never really HAVE to finish anything (unless suddenly you do because *reasons*) - and that all depends on your team and manager, and whether you're working on anything people care about, which if it isn't LoL, isn't likely. Most people are frustrated with the workload, management, slow development cycle, or all of the above at Riot.

Because of the desire to produce top-quality results, processes can be slowed to less-than-efficient speeds. This can be frustrating for those used to a faster workflow.
