Pros

Good benefits, great team members, great colleagues and wonderful supportive environment. Travel and experiences and camaraderies was great.

Cons

Working in esports means you could be working almost 24/7. Company is flexible enough for you to take time off as you need but esports is a round-the-clock department and you almost don't even have time to even find time off. Messy leadership and management structure. Small teams and insanely high workload.

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
