Pros
This place has an outrageous amount of wonderful people. Sure, there are always exceptions to the rule (and some pretty extreme ones), but overall I have never felt treated with as much respect and felt as valued as I do at Riot Games. Empathy is everywhere. I was on the fence between 4 and 5 stars, but this tips me over. People here are really passionate about the product. Work-life balance is outstanding. There are few barriers to getting things done despite our size, i.e. bureaucracy hasn't caught up with us yet and that's great.
Kontras
Primarily, I would say the biggest problem is that Riot simply doesn't pay well. While the gaming industry is apparently this way as a whole, the reality is that we are competing for talent against the Bay Area when it comes to engineering, PM roles, etc., and banks and consultancies on the business functions side, and our compensation rates make this extremely difficult. Beyond that, the one issue I come across is that people in different teams and parts of the org are now actually quite unaligned on our core values. Not because we disagree with them, but because the interpretation is fluid and on a spectrum. We need better definitions for them.
