engineer - Associate Development Manager Riot Games Employee Review

The people. So nice, so passionate (albeit in pockets). Benefits! Great insurance and vacation.

Quite corporate. Rigid structure. There is reluctance to take risks. Difficult to move between projects or roles as a producer.

Good/fun work environment. Great perks and there seems to be a genuine care for maximizing employees experience.

Pay is not very compititve in my opinion and its hard to advance past a certain level. Evaluations/promotions are very subjective, I've known a few people who have left because of this. It's hard to get things done often. Getting cross-team alignment is hard with "bottom-up" philosophy and more than once plans get derailed by a decree from execs with little data to back up decisions.
