      Gamer + player focused; attempting to mature

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Truly player focused. Revenue is not the basis of decisions and often isn't even part of the discussion. - Gamer culture. Gaming is part of everyday life at Riot, and not just League of Legends. Employees are encouraged to experience gaming across different genre and formats. - Feedback + mentoring + big challenges = explosive personal growth. You will be forced out of your comfort zone and there is a net to catch you when you stumble.

      Cons

      - League of Legends growth curve created tech, people, and organizational debt. Tribal knowledge and immature processes and systems make it hard to onboard, slow to modernize, and individuals that are single sources of knowledge. - Struggling to scale horizontally (new products) and vertically (not requiring active participation by executives in daily company operations). - Business core hours, particularly in LA, favor the young or single.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture where staff are empowered to deliver great things. Get to work with incredibly talented people and teams that know what they're doing. Comp/benefits packages ahead of the industry and facilities/perks are amazing - great place to work.

      Cons

      Historically problems solved by throwing money at it, need to go back and clean up a lot of operations overhead. Don't exit employees fast enough.

      Uniquely awesome place to work, has its growing pains and is not for everyone

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Dynamic company with tons of opportunities for motivated, high performing individuals - Employees at all levels are given a lot of empowerment - Opportunity to be part of a company that really cares about its players and that makes truly amazing, top tier stuff - League itself, videos, Esports production, etc. - Great perks - If you have a strong intrinsic motivation to work in video games, are socially adept, and a self-starter comfortable in ambiguity, you will be very happy working here

      Cons

      - Empowerment, while great, in the wrong hands can result in poor results - empire-building by senior people, low productivity by junior people. Riot can sometimes be too tolerant of ineffective teams / poor performers - Talent team / capabilities still subpar. Performance management system not where it needs to be. Feedback sucks even though we pride ourselves on an open feedback culture. You need to work hard and proactively to develop your own career. - Sense of entitlement can be a turn-off. Sometimes see this in junior Rioters who haven't had to slave in corporate America, sometimes see it in senior Rioters who have lost their sense of humility
