How employees describe working at Riot Games
it is very very good
Providing a right of appeal on the bans they impose on their members. Decision is made at the Support Level and once made, they refuse to discuss their decision. Once decision is made, they give you no other options for appeal. This is regardless of how many thousand of $ Dollars you have invested!
reliability is very nice as
Good support, great recruiters, a bit slow.

Top Employee Response
As a single person, living close to work in this area is expensive. Wages for creative just aren't as good as they claim. Pay talent better
I don't like the new bonus structure as compared to the stock that we received previously.
Less benefit, more pay.
What does the leadership team at Riot Games need to get better at?
Top Employee Response
They need to start taking a stronger interest on what's actually going on at the lower levels.
Project transparency, profesional skills
Leadership in this company is all over the place. Some are great. There are however too many legacy folks who are underqualified.
Does Riot Games have any remote positions?
There are many remote positions at Riot games, but our general preference is toward co-located teams

What needs to change to make the company culture better at Riot Games?

Stop imagining what the studio culture is. Enough with the koolaid. The company is becoming more top down and corportate everyday.
While it's nice to constantly strive for improvement and seek continual feedback, let's take the time to celebrate successes and strengths
The company culture is good, but people create their own culture is bad. There is still a strong hierarchy in there.

I believe it varies by team, but most are very flexible- my hours vary from day to day based on my own desires and needs. Not sure about regular remote work because it's not super possible for my team, but people do it when they need to, and I know of people on other teams that take 1+ day a week remote.

What's the company culture like at Riot Games?
Top Employee Response
The Culture is one of feedback. The idea of only being able to fix things that they know are a problem. That said, not all departments are as open to this as they should be and it's becoming worse not better.
Toxic AF, particularly if you're a woman.

1, and no not at all.

How's the leadership on the Product team at Riot Games?
Leadership on Product are definitely gamers who can empathize with players. However, I don't find them to be great managers in terms of career development.
What's the Product team like at Riot Games?
The Product team cares a lot about what players need and want; however, their ability to prioritize and manage work in progress is a hindrance. There are too many projects at Riot that are competing for resources/attention. I think this has inflated our growth and slowed down our ability to meaningfully satisfy our players.
How's the vacation policy at Riot Games?
Unlimited PTO, no barriers to taking time off, however, no encouragement or reminders from HR to use unlimited PTO.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better at Riot Games?
