Avantages
I have been working at Riot Games São Paulo Office for more than one year as a Rioter (it is a fact that I used to be a contractor for more than 2 and a half years for Recruiting). I was inspired by a review from another Rioters and I share his opinion so I will start with his statement: "I'm not sure how to break this down into a simple list of pros and cons. Everything about Riot is dual-edged and requires consistent grounding to maintain realistic perspectives. If I could summarize, Rioters are given great power. "And with great power comes great responsibility.""" - Flexible work hours ("We are worried if you are and can deliver, not in how are you going to do it"); - You are expected to be the best at what you do, that raises the bar for you and the team; - Great office structure and localization; - Very nice perks and swags; - Awesome special events (massage, afternoon coffee break, team outings for team building, Riot Rumble!); - Play LOL during the day; - Horizontal Structure, from an intern to the CEO, everyone have access to everyone, the is no politics in therms of with whom I can relate and talk; - Open feedback (from Global Surveys to special classes that help us consolidate and grow a true open/actionable feedback culture)!
Inconvénients
Please do not see these all as negative points of the experience but maybe some that are challenging for people that work here. - Misuse of the Riot's Manifesto, sometime you can engage with people that use the Manifesto in a wrong way, either prioritizing their opinion above the players needs or stating something as an unbreakable truth. - Bro-culture, I believe there is still this bad legacy from a subject (games) that in the past we had a majority of man as main audience and public. IMO this had changed and we need to eliminate behaviors that are complacent to a Bro-culture. - Work-pace, I sometimes struggle with the pace on making decisions and "making the well spin". I think this is regarding a fear of risk taking or complacency...
