Pros
Great perks and employee benefits, although the benefits have diminished since 2023, it still is offers better benefits than most gaming companies by a long shot. You get to work with incredibly talented and passionate people and you get to work on awesome projects.
Cons
Development and work feels process heavy. At the same time big decisions and pivots are made by a few at the top. There have also been a lot of restructures the past 3 years which disrupts continuity and work that is already in the pipelines. Career advancement is unclear, you can get promoted quickly from junior until mid level. After that it seems very difficult and unclear how to progress further unless you enjoy good mentorship. It does not help that Riot overall is quite top/senior heavy.
