Pros

I am kind of person who cares a lot for the purpose and meaning of my role and my interpersonal relationship at work. I am glad that Riot is able to offer that. The mission is clear, the culture is strong, employees share an aligned framework, and what is left for me to figure out my skills, my dedication and creativity.

Cons

Everyone owns their own career and self-development. There isn't clear track or trajectory unless you propose and get buy-in. If you don't know for sure what do you want to do and try to get by, you will build very negative personal image and might be suggested to move on. If you don't care about games or tech / entertainment related stuff at all, don't apply. Because you will be in a disadvantage spot at day one.

Pros

I've been working at Riot Games for just over two years now, and been in the games industry for ten years, across three different companies including Riot. All of the companies have their pluses, but at Riot, people really care about our players. The atmosphere at Riot, allows people to contribute from across different disciplines and even continents, to ensure that we are providing the best possible player experience out there. It's been a refreshing experience, to work with others that take the player experience to heart. I've been in the Sydney office since January, and the office is in a great location, within walking distance to all that the city has to offer. The team is small, hungry, and motivated. We are able to work without constraints, to create a great experience for our players here in Oceania. The office perks are exceptional, and Riot treats it's employees like family. Quick Points: Great, open feedback culture; Highly transparent and trusting of everyone that works here; Amazing perks that include a yearly trip; A team dedicated to ensuring that people are taken care of, and extending that to your family as well; Tons of learning and development opportunities; Challenges of scale, technology, and craft that will keep you sharp; Failure is ok, but learn from it and move on.

Cons

Nobody will stop you from taking on too much. I personally have a hard time saying no, and because of this, it was easy to take on more than I could chew, when I first started. You will work with people that are driven, people that work very hard, but work-life balance is important. It will be up to you to keep that in check.

Pros

Riot is the best company I have ever worked for. The culture is really special and unique and it is this which makes working at Riot so great. Everyone is passionate and driven to achieve; we’re committed to delivering a fantastic player experience and we’re always looking to improve. The work environment is friendly and chilled out but at the same time you are expected to deliver. There’s no one is clock watching, you own your time and there’s always food in the kitchen so you never go hungry. You’re given a great deal of autonomy and expected to own and run with initiatives. You are likely to work hard but you will also play lots of LoL throughout the week. It’s refreshing to work with like minded people who come to work to impact the player experience. The company genuinely cares, Riot’s fully vested not only my career but my life. This refreshing and unique culture has helped my wife and I to feel settled in Sydney.

Cons

Everything is pretty amazing at Riot. Sure, we don’t have everything right; I believe we can do more in regards to challenging convention and supporting local Rioter growth in the Sydney Office. That said, we're eager to learn and improve and it is exciting to be on this upward learning curve together where we are trying to continuously improve so that we can enhance the LoL player experience.
