Pros

Nice benefits, cool offices, some people are really great to work with

Cons

Riot probably has one of the worst people management systems I’ve ever seen. A manager that discards a perfect fit for a spot in order to employ two friends of his, bypassing the interview process, shouldn’t be there. They also pay high for engineers but most production positions receive a terrible salary. If your manager likes you, you’ll have a shot on growing within the company. If not, he’ll just come up with a stupid reason to let you go without any reasonable explanation.

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.
