      Great Place to Learn

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great people - Folks are willing to teach/discuss their work with you - Perks are on par with typical SF tech companies - Depending on your position, you can really quickly get into some awesome projects - People really do care about the mission/players - not being predatory as a F2P game means a lot

      Cons

      - Doesn't do a great job of rewarding high performance - Focus on alignment means a huge amount of people have say/input on decisions, which can lead to paralysis. Absolutely need a strong vision or ideas die quickly. - Comp is very low for some positions - 'Gaming at work' culture is sometimes abused

      High Opportunity and Potential for Growth, but Lacking A Roadmap

      Recruiter
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive pay for not only the game industry, but also the tech industry. In my opinion the perks of being a Rioter (gym subsidy, game fund, benefits, open PTO, etc) fill any compensation gaps because the company takes care of Rioters and seeks to ensure a productive environment that also caters to creativity, collaboration and cultivation of Rioter growth potential. Come to the table with ideas, passion for your craft and a fierce appetite for learning and you'll go far. Drive to do more is as important as having a base skill-set and passion for games.

      Cons

      Fostering growth is a priority at Riot as well as delivering value to players. Some disciplines lack a roadmap to guide development and cultivate craft. You're expected to map out your goals and create your own roadmap without proper mentorship from peers with a similar trajectory. While autonomy offers a ton of flexibility, the ambiguity around how to navigate your own growth can be daunting, especially for those more junior in their careers. On the flip side, I've seen Riot mature a great deal in the last few years as an organization and I'm seeing a focus on leveling up this aspect of our culture that still keeps us true to Riot values while ensuring we take a more structured approach to Rioter growth.

      Full Time Rioter in LAX

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fairly sharp crowd of individuals genuinely interested in doing the right thing. Biggest Pros also tend to be biggest cons. Riot is a company big on alignment, and several leaders in the company believe the true accountability mechanism is self-accountability. As a result, a lot of energy is invested in making sure the WHY of any action is understood. Unfortunately, it means little forward progress is visible until a critical mass in this area is accrued.

      Cons

      It's the games industry. While Riot compensates competitively, it is not going to keep up with the craziness that is occurring in the Silicon Valley. Located in West LA means a Rioter chooses either to accept a smaller place to live or have a longer commute. These are first world problems, and ideally candidates are cognizant of this trade off as they join Riot.
