Another take on what it's like to work there when the copy isn't curated by HR and PR.

Written 1/24/2020 - 11 days ago,

Pros

- Colleagues who really really care about what they're doing

- The best campus and amenities you're going to see in LA

- Being surrounded by other gamers/people of similar ages and hobbies

- Cool products - a ton of R&D

Cons

- toxic, extremely harmful culture for women/nbs, poc and those who don't play the game with the ol' boys club

- lawsuits galore

- sexual harassment left and right, especially from executives and skip levels

- work/life balance is non-existent, and the great amenities help keep you there. (Lots of divorces happen because of this place.)

- don't expect a title that reflects your actual skillset unless you're sleeping with someone, or are a man who knows how to trade on social currency. Riot likes to hire people who are overqualified and make them battle to the death for promotions
