      Solid place to work, very team dependent, and definitely unique

      Pros

      - Surrounded by some of the most talented and intelligent individuals in tech, art, and creative. - Tons of opportunities to learn and grow. - Really competitive salary (still tough to survive in LA if you're not an engineer, but above the average for creative roles in LA). - Amazing campus with free breakfast, lunch, and dinner; free full coffee bar; PC Bang; VR Room; and more. - Fun events on campus. - Lots of small perks like RP stipend, reimbursement for games every month, wellness, massage discount, on-site massages, free yoga classes, etc. - A unique ability to find and carve out niche roles that really interest you. If you want to do a job, just do it. - Work-life-balance isn't bad depending on what you do. It depends on you, your team, and your job.

      Cons

      - Happiness is team dependent. If you're on a team with inefficient management, your experience can be really unenjoyable. - Salaries are low if you're not in engineering. Los Angeles is really expensive, and if you're not in tech you can forget ever buying a home or renting super close to the office. - Things take a really long time. - Riot can be an echo chamber. Everything happens in a bubble and it's hard sometimes to be the dissenting voice. - There are people still in positions of power who have harassed individuals, blocked career growth and projects, and created unsafe work environments. - Talent (HR) is ineffective. There have been numerous cases of clear violations that I've witnessed that have gone completely ignored. - Lack of transparency when it comes to career progression, salary bands, and areas for growth.

      Perfectly imperfect

      Pros

      At its core, Riot is humble. Clearly, mistakes have been made, but when flaws or failures are identified Riot not only strives to fix them, but also holds itself highly accountable for them happening in the first place. Leadership genuinely cares about making the company a safe and prosperous place for every Rioter. Steps are being taken to properly identify and remove bad actors, as well as ensure that every person here understands how to be their best self and how to combat wrongdoing. I have strong faith that Riot will emerge from the recent turmoil as an example for other gaming and tech companies to live up to. Riot is always willing to listen to feedback and learn from its mistakes. The company's not perfect, but it aspires to correct its imperfections at every opportunity. While no company is entirely free from office politics, it is not difficult to navigate them, or avoid them, or call them out here. I fear that some Rioters take for granted how much voice and empowerment they have here. Beyond that, Riot treats us very well in general. We have excellent benefits, amenities, work/life balance, perks, and (to my knowledge) very competitive pay. Having worked in other companies and in other industries, Riot is by far the most refreshing environment I've encountered in my professional life. I can trust fellow Rioters to do their best and I can trust Riot to do right by me.

      Cons

      I would say Riot's biggest fault is that many career growth paths are not well defined. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that Riot strives to hire very talented, ambitious people. It's not quite as much of a struggle for the mature disciplines at Riot, such as Technology and Art. Those are large segments of the overall org, but there are many disciplines that need to catch up on this front. On the plus side, Riot has identified this as an area for vast improvement and is taking organization-spanning steps to improve it. I'm excited to see the fruits of those efforts.
