Pros: At Riot, even as an intern, you are treated like a full-time Rioter, with all the responsibility, respect, and of course the perks of working at a game company.
Riot has an excellent player-focused culture with tons of room for growth. It was great to be working alongside other passionate and driven individuals, like myself, to help deliver an amazing product to people all over the world.
Cons: The work can be tough, but that is what makes growth possible! Definitely worth it.

Software Engineer • Current Employee
July 15, 2022
Pros: The Dublin office is full of passionate, talented, mission-driven people from all over Europe.
There's pretty good work-life balance, especially for a gaming company.
Plenty of on-the-job and off-the-job opportunities exist to make an impact for players.
It's as good a place to solve global, interesting problems as any.
Cons: - Multiple 'tiers' of employees.
- Long history of cutting contractors on a whim, even before the contract terms are up.
- Too much authority is centralized in LA; regional offices have very limited autonomy.
- Extremely long interview process (2 months is fast, 3-4 months is typical).
