Pros

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

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

Player focus, some of the coolest games on the planet, Riot does a great job of creating an environment where people can succeed and thrive

Cons

Crunch is on the rise, fiscal discipline on exploration is still too loose, lots of layers of management
