Pros

The devs you work with are some of the most talented people you'll come across. They're genuinely passionate about the games and players. For the most part, Riot's done a good job of building a welcoming culture that's come a long way

Cons

Leadership is completely disconnected from the day-to-day realities. Decisions are made in a vacuum without talking with the people affected by them. A new, contradictory strategy and fresh reorg is invented every 6 months. Career opportunities and collaboration between teams are based on who you know and internal politics

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.
