Pros

Compensation and work perks The actual product (the games) are great and I feel proud to be working for the company that makes League of Legends.

Cons

Crazy-making levels of bureaucracy, even in roles where you're not impacting anything player-facing. You can't do or try anything without leadership buy-in, no matter what discipline. If you and leadership are sympatico, great! If not, good luck. You need to either be a tech genius, have god-tier charisma, or have no mind of your own (or pretend that you don't) to do well here. From another review here: "A job where you’re never at peace not because you’re challenging yourself, but because the higher ups are forever trying to out-do each other" ^^^ This! A million times, this!

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.
