Pros

- Thorough interview process - Culture fit is as (if not more) important as technical skill - Great perks (fully stocked kitchen with fresh fruit, cereals, snacks, teas, and coffee) - Lots of opportunity to learn and grow - Flat organization; open seating and little hierarchy

Cons

- Location: traffic is difficult and finding a place to live close by isn't easy - Explosive growth, can feel a little unconstrained - Positions and responsibilities are nebulous - Work/Life balance is tough; long days are expected and the norm

Pros

Passionate co-workers who are all hyper talented, amazing fringe benefits, work/life balance, dedicated managers to help you with your career, and passionate players to serve.

Cons

Egos are rewarded you have to be really good at self promotion, the company is so big that you can feel lost if you don't invest in networking often, layoffs happen at Riot now

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
