Jekyll and Hyde - Anonymous employee Riot Games Employee Review

- The illusion of a “flat structure” needs to stop. The company does not operate in a flat structure. It just doesn't so please stop saying it does. Accountability is a big issue at the company, recognition for hard work goes unnoticed and the wrong people end up getting scapegoated because of this illusion. - Leadership is not unified on the goals of the company and everyone is acting in their own interests. Efforts are scattered and an alarming amount of waste in resources and energy happens across the company on a daily bases. This is why so many people are complaining about long hours and difficulty in work/life balance even though the company is bloated with too many employees. You don't need more employees, you need better leaders that lead by example. - Communication is poor and duplicate efforts with leaders that are at odds with each other can be found across the organization. There is little transparency and many decisions without explanation or well thought out plans for how to fully implement them are made. - Subversive bullying is reinforced. Women, transgender and introverted Rioters get the brunt of this behavior and are frequently bullied by loud stereotypical alpha personalities. When the outliers complain or seek assistance in a difficult situation they are dismissed by leadership as not having what it takes to be a Rioter because they are not fixing the problem themselves.
