Talented and motivated people Lots of Perks and stuff Travel travel travel Amazing development opportunities

Cons

Alphas too influential - in other words friendship coming on the front of hard work bad salary for lower roles ridiculous working hours: being a rioter is not a job, is a lifestyle If you want to join Riot prepare to be a RIoter and not a human being with a social life instead

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.
