The people rule. The leadership and culture do not. - werkgeversreview Manager bij Riot Games

Riot's senior leadership (C-suite) is disconnected from the rest of the organization, particularly production. Communication is gated, and senior leaders do not take/receive feedback from lower levels, including product leaders and senior management. Senior leadership is prone to overruling experts and gatekeeping creative control. Senior leadership does not prioritize the players/audiences experience, but does expect others to do so to a punitive degree. Workplace culture at Riot is ultimately abusive. COVID policyies are negligent and rigid. While mid and low level employees have made great commitments to reducing Burnout, leadership is inflexible on timetables to a degree that forces a constant burn. Likewise, mid and low level employees consistently demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion that is, at best, of no sincerely demonstrated interest to those in control.
