Riot Games reviews

When looking to leave my last job, for about 12 months I explored numerous opportunities at various MNC's and Financial Institutions, always leaving the interviews a bit disheartened by the lack of emphasis that was put on Talent. When I was invited to meet with the guys at Riot, on conducting my pre-interview research, I was delighted to read about the employee focused culture, but I also maintained a healthy portion of skepticism as so many companies talk the talk, but so few walk the walk. I have now been with Riot for 6 months and I am thrilled, amazed and relieved to be part of a company that wholeheartedly practices what it preaches. Riot views its Talent (aka Rioters) as its number 1 resource. Aside from the benefits like unlimited holidays, flexible hours, top of the market health plan, free snacks/fruit etc..... for me, it is the empowerment/ownership that Riot offers which demonstrates the true value that is put on staff. You are hired as an expert in your respective discipline, and treated as such. Bizarrely, in today's market this is a rarity (from my experience). A talent focused culture creates an environment where people will go the extra mile, not because their boss is telling them to, but because they are incredibly passionate about what they are doing, and embrace the opportunity to transfer their passion to our players. By ensuring that everyone is on the same page when it comes to hiring new talent, and never dropping the bar for the sake of a 'quick fix', an environment has been nurtured where everyone is pulling in the same direction, with the same goal of improving the player experience for everyone that comes into contact with Riot or a Rioter.

Everyone believes in our core mission: We aspire to be the most player-focused game company in the world. It's the first company I have worked for that has every team member believe and live by the company's mission. This is a great entrepreneurial work environment that gives people the ability to work on what they believe is right. Giving this level of trust means that there is an expectation that you fit culturally here, and your judgement is aligned with Riot. Managers here don't tell you what to do here. They are mentors and coaches who give feedback and help you align better to Riot Culture value. They are invaluable in giving you a different perspective on an issue you may not have thought of. I am hardcore WoW player, and it's great to finally work at a company where I don't need to be embarrassed that I play games during work hours; as long as I get all my work done of course. So I get to keep up with my Garrison Missions!
