Riot Games reviews

Some bureaucracy building up as the company grows larger Growing a little too fast A few people in key positions have struggled to grow with the company

Trying to work with other departments can feel like navigating a thousand disconnected islands. Gaps between departments create issues. The company has grown so fast that this is only getting worse as time goes on. Talent often come hand in hand with "arrogant" and "egotistical" - The Riot culture has done nothing to help this. Interaction can sometimes feel uncomfortable and occasionally borders on hostile. Employees that push aggressively on their projects do seem to get more done and other employees who notice that either become more aggressive or become somewhat jaded. Some employees/management demonstrate very little consideration for other employees' workload and time. Politics and favoritism here reminds me of college. Emails are handled horribly. If you come from any corporation or company that makes use of office email systems you will immediately see that the use of email at Riot is a disaster zone. Long term planning seems practically non-existent in a lot of areas. You'll see it "presented" on flashy powerpoints from time to time with no real context or detail. Where it does exist lacks the concrete detail and organization needed to actually execute successfully. Riot claims to be very transparent to their employees but you will quickly learn that this is only half-true. Saying your going to "adapt" is one thing - actually "adapting" and looking back to see what could have been done better is another. If you aren't prepared to love your job and work overtime / attend after hours events it might be tough for you here. Salaries for some positions are under the industry standard.
