Best company I have ever worked with

Pros

Riot is a place that doesn't just talk about it's values but works every day to live them. The overall team is the strongest I've ever had the pleasure of working with. If you want to come to work every day thinking about how to deliver incredible value to players around the world then you will have a hard time finding a better fit than Riot.

Cons

Riot can be very aggressive in our goals which sometimes leads to teams overextending themselves. As a leader at Riot, I spend little time pushing Rioters to be awesome. I spend more time helping people better balance their goals so that they are stretching / learning / growing but not breaking.

Riot is not a job, it's an experience

Pros

High energy, tons of freedom with serious perks, a staff of creative geniuses that are best in class, with a genuine sense of integrity. A place of gamers for gamers. Most days are a joy here and you get the satisfaction of working on something you really feel makes people happy.

Cons

Loose organization with constant change, really daily tons of change, and (often) very little mentorship would leave anyone who is not highly self-motivated lost at sea. Whole teams will vanish overnight and there is little transparency around priorities, so it can feel hugely chaotic, particularly if you can't jump in to any working group and collaborate smoothly no matter what. Plus the stress of live service - not for everyone.

Pros

Riot remains steadfastly dedicated to upholding the tenets that the company was founded on. There is an incredible amount of autonomy for individuals to drive for change and evolution. For the most part Sr. Leadership has a high level of integrity and vision. The startup mentality hasn't died off with the rapid growth. People at Riot are still trying to make great things happen for players everyday.

Cons

Getting things done sometimes gets in the way of building strong foundations for getting things done. Rapid growth has unavoidably diluted the culture to some extent. There is conflict in what the best approach for the players really is sometimes.
