Is riot games a good company ? Should I take the offer that might come in soon? What salary range should I be expecting for a manger position ? Anybody at riot ?#riot games
I enjoy working at Riot. Happy to answer questions.
Hey! I'm over at EA rn, and Riots been a dream of mine. I'm a PM, but do you know if PM salaries are comparable to the SWE salaries I see on levels.fyi?
PM as in Product, Project, or Program Manager? Either way, SWE is generally higher as we compete with tech companies. Technical Product Managers (TPM) is more aligned with engineering from what I understand.
Love working at Riot so far. Riot truly cares about their employees
Thanks. Any insights into salary ? Do they pay well and as per market standards ?
Where are you joining from? Well overall and very good compared to games but not FAANG or unicorn tier. Levels.fyi is accurate
Levels.fyi just has software engineer salary so didn’t help much but good to know. I will be joining from non FAANG company but that has been paying very well. I hope I get atleast 30-40% more than what I am being paid.
Riot is really good in some teams and really bad in others. When interviewing, just make sure to bring questions to help you vet the team as most of those interviewers will be generally pretty aware of the team. For salary range, you can request that from the recruiter by the second interview. 'Manager' is too general to give any assessment here.
Thanks.
What did they offer ya?
Did you get the offer?
Yes they came back and offer is lower than what I mentioned for my current one. They are working to see if they can get more and will get back by end of this week. I was hoping to get more but let’s see. Also they have started with base salary discussions only at this point
Got it. Best of luck! Hope they can outdo your current comp.
Riot was great when I was there for a few years about 2015-2018 or so. Didn't have the issues that made our news in our department, I was a tech artist, TC was around 200k for me and I had no idea what managers made there, I know I was on the higher side of the band. No idea about how it was like now with Covid. Projects tended to drag out though when I was there, lots of wasted money/time and the "we don't talk about money" aspect kept getting tossed in my face when I brought up inefficiencies. Some guys on our team just coasted and did fine, played league for half the day and did some work. Traffic was a bear on Olympic/Bundy, one of the great benefits was the company suv/gas card benefit for carpoolers.. they didn't even advertise that and that was one thing that made me go work for them. I'd go back to work for them again for the right project.
Money and managing financial budgets are a lot better recently at least from what I understand
