Pros

- Player Focused! Riot is #1 at this. - The Riot Social scene is awesome. - You're never alone unless you want to be. - Their benefits are are unrivaled. - Riot Manifesto - good idea.

Cons

- Riot Manifesto - poor execution. - There is extreme attrition for "open feedback" and career growth discussions with manager. - Extreme harassment and discriminatory language are the norm in some teams. - There is a lack of trust throughout the organization to protect people who are coming forward to Talent (HR) with the attrition issues. - Clear nepotism and favoritism in regional discipline of the organization causes a lot of morale issues. - Manager will regularly take credit for successes while deflecting their own failures onto new employees.

Hi, and thank you for sharing your thoughts. The Riot Manifesto is something we believe in deeply, which is why we invest and share stories that make the values real. We know that there’s many areas where we can improve, and we appreciate and act on Rioter feedback. In partnership with Rioters, we work together to find root causes of issues, brainstorm actions that could be taken, and support Rioters in reaching the best possible solutions without fear of retaliation or unfair treatment. The flow of feedback allows us to gain insight into areas where Rioters perceive we are less effective, and to use that information to help us level up. The ability to give timely and constructive feedback for improvement, however, can often be just as challenging as receiving feedback. We want to hear when we are failing in either our communication or our receptivity so that we can take action. If you’re comfortable, please do reach out to me (cmoore@riotgames.com) or any member of the Talent team, as our goal is to ensure that Rioters are positioned for success. Thanks again for taking the time to review us, and to give us feedback. Christa Moore
