Pros

Plenty of opportunity for moving around the company, lots of room to grow within roles, really cool work-space, great benefits.

Cons

The flat-ish management structure can create some issues. While it works much of the time, sometimes it can create a little confusion, and actually make teams unsure which way to proceed - it can sometimes be tricky to know whose feedback and advice to go with when there is is contradictory feedback given.

Each review helps candidates better understand Riot, so thanks for taking the time to review us. Riot strives to offer an environment where Rioters can grow and are enabled to move within the org if they find areas where they can add more value. I’d like to clarify Riot’s “flat-ish” structure - "flat" can mean a lot of things to different people, so we try to avoid using it to describe how we’re organized. Riot’s structured so that Rioters can own projects that aren't explicitly in their job description, and made up of cross-functional teams that are designed to break down hierarchical barriers. If you (or your project teams) are still coming against confusing feedback, try bringing the right folks together to diagnose the confusion and identify next steps. There are many Riot leaders that are happy to lend an ear if you need guidance on how to navigate. Thanks again for sharing your experience to candidates - if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at avanderhelm@riotgames.com. Thanks! Ann
