What is the salary like at Riot Games?

Culture-wise, for the first two years I really loved this company — because it inspired people, had a good culture, good people to talk to, always encouraged communication, collaboration, and personal growth. If you’re a full-time employee, the benefits are great and the pay is good. If you’re a contractor, the pay is okay but there are no other benefits

This year I really don’t know why I’m still here. Many times, even when I talk to my manager, I might get zero response. Of course, when I talk to other people about work, same problem also. After the re-org, I slowly don’t understand what is my value in this org anymore. Even though I got very clear scope, does anyone actually care what I contribute to the company? If nobody cares, then what’s the point of my existence here? I keep needing to prove my value again and again, instead of just showing it. Honestly, if you look closely, the company is very wired. It’s more friendly towards people in AMER. But if you are outside of US, you can never really join the relevant meetings (unless you sacrifice your whole night’s sleep). And many times, you don’t even get any answer at all. I’m so sad for myself.

-Really great ICs and fun projects -Decent amount of ownership on small scales

-Fired me due to an unfounded rumor on social media, no relation to work relations or output. Company rather bury everything; gossip, nepotism, and making friends are the only thing the company values from their employees -Very little ability to move upwards or start to own larger scale features -Very low pay compared to other game companies, especially traditional tech

Good pay, a lot of benefits

the culture is too toxic and middle management struggle a lot

Great culture, great pay, great people

The only con was that I got laid off.

Great perks/benefits, competitive salary, and friendly work culture

There could be a lack of direction from management and supervisors given how chill and relax that Riot Games is proud of itself

Incredible work life balance, good pay, and a relatively healthy culture

Environment that is prone to politics

Some great people, good pay and benefits, industry leading games

Unclear strategy, poor communication, no career progression, no corporate structure - everything is about knowing people and getting favors rather than organization and leadership support. Strategies change month to month. Leadership is extremely disconnected from the actual work needed.

Great pay, lots of benefits, mostly exceptional employees

Toxic management culture, long unaddressed

High pay, flexible PTO, fun office and a lot of perks

Ever changing org structure and management

Great pay, fun and relaxed environment, free breakfast, lunch and dinner, strong culture, and friendly co-workers

General volatility of the industry and job market as a whole
