Pros

You get to work with talented craft experts to come with top notch experiences The number of players is large so you have a lot of info from the industry to come with insights and understanding of the gaming culture Benefits are unmatched . They refund any games you buy, your car payment, have medical coverage above average, best tools avaiable in the world are at your disposal.

Cons

- Lack of leadership and innovation The leadership has more than 4 years in the company so they are used to do things their own way. New ideas are not welcomed nor fostered. - Non-inclusive practices. Older Rioters have a tendency to have unsolicited phisical contact, talk about other people's bodies and to take work experience outside the offices. If you complain there's a high chance you'll be out of the company soon. - Work hours They expect you to work more than 45 hours a week, on weekends and during your vacations.

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.
