Pros

You have the ability to work with any team or plug in to the company in teams outside your discipline. Nothing impedes your success but you. You get to interact with the players and community from the start and know you are making a positive impact. Work is full of the good feels everyday. We truly live our manifesto. Riot's corporate integrity is beyond admirable.

Cons

The business side, like accounts payable, legal and purchasing operate in a black box and provides no visibility. If you have to work with external vendors their teams are not clear with the process or helpful and you have to apologize to vendors all the time with little to no power to make things better.

Pros

- Culture & Values: is a company run by gamers and we base every decision thinking "what I would want from a company in this case?" - Passion: again, being gamers is almost everybody's dream to work for a gaming company. But also everyone is passionate about their area of expertise. - Empowerment: you are encouraged to do what you think is good for the players. No long approval process, no useless discussion... No HQ vs local office... we are raw in the same direction. - Learning & Development: you don't get to where Riot is today without great people. Every day I learn something new from them! - Working on the best game in the world: this is probably bias because I've been playing / loving LOL since Season 1 but helping Riot making LOL even better is a honour for me. - Opportunities: I started in the EU office and for personal reason I couldn't work there any more and I was offered the opportunity to work in the Australian office. - Perks: Don't want to list them all but some of the cool one are: game allowance, breakfast and lunches, flexible hours and very competitive salaries.

Cons

Nothing I can think of, as said, I feel like I'm still in my honeymoon phase.

Pros

Open PTO, Riot Play Fund, great work space, amazing work space, fantastic people, ... the list goes on and on. It's also located in Santa Monica, which is one of my favorite places.

Cons

Only thing I could say is that it takes a long time to get things done here. You've gotta push hard to get the simplest things going.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I'm with the team responsible for making sure that orientation (aka denewbification) is an excellent experience for every new Rioter. As a team, we'll huddle on your feedback and examine the data that we collect via surveys. We'll take a look at the sessions that may be candidates for modification or pruning. Feel free to reach out to me directly anytime if you have additional feedback on how to improve the experience. - KC Hicks
