Pros

The company really feels like it's doing something different. They're aiming to change the game industry, and have already done it with their first product. Their investments into other pieces of the player experience (music, videos, esports, etc), is a real reflection of their commitment to the player and delivering value anywhere (and any way) they can.

Cons

It's hard work. Expectations are high, both internally and externally, and people looking for a 40-hour work week should likely stay away. This is a company that rewards go-getters, so people who can create and execute their own projects (while promoting visibility of those wins) will succeed.

Pros

Everyone really believes in the product and are passionate about what they do. Smart people, most of whom are down to earth (not too many egos) and Riot does well in keeping their employees happy. If you enjoy constantly being challenged, growing as a person, a fast-paced environment and learning, you'll get all of that here.

Cons

TONS of work which makes for regular long hours ... doesn't always feel like a "con", but might not work for all people.

Hi -- Thanks a bunch for the review. Glassdoor is a great way for candidates to get an accurate sense of what it's like to work at Riot, and so a diversity of voices on here is great. Regarding your "advice to senior management," it would be incredibly helpful if you could email Marc and Brandon directly regarding who, specifically, you believe is a poor leader, with examples of poor leadership, so that they can investigate and take action. Feel free to do this anonymously with a throwaway email account if you're fearful of attaching your name to the email for whatever reason. Maybe write it up as a letter and leave it on their keyboards at their desks, or even mail it to their attention at our business address. Whatever contact method you prefer, please do get your critical insight into their hands. It may be the case that they're *not* aware of what you allude to here. If you want to see Riot improve, you'll have to take action when you see a problem that needs fixing.

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
