Must really love the game to work here. - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Riot Games

Thanks for taking the time to writing about your experience at Riot! Rioters rally around League of Legends, but candidates or new Rioters aren’t required to be die-hard League (or MOBA) fans. Being super knowledgeable and skilled at League can be a dealbreaker or requirement for some roles, we just want to be sure that Rioters are passionate about games (whether that’s League, or of the RPG or board variety). We don’t want talented professionals to de-select Riot just because they’re not into MOBAs. Generally speaking, we encourage and expect Rioters to get familiar with the game, because that how we best understand the player experience. I’d like to clarify Riot’s “flat” 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. This misunderstanding still comes up frequently, which means we need to do better in conveying this with Rioters, so thank you! I see that you’re a Riot alum, but if you have specific feedback on how we can do better culturally and organizationally and would like to reach out, please feel free to contact me at avanderhelm@riotgames.com. Thanks again for taking the time to review us - it really helps candidates better understand what life is like at Riot, so we appreciate it! Ann
