Pros

People that work here are very valued. It's a great campus and there's a great, creative vibe. Riot really takes care of its people and has a great interest in making sure everyone feels part of the work that goes on.

Cons

That inclusivity can sometimes slow the process of creating new things down tremendously, hamstrings good ideas by involving far too many people than are necessary up front, and giving everyone the feeling that their opinion is as equally valid as someone else's when, in some cases - due to expertise or experience - it just isn't.

Pros

Passionate co-workers who are all hyper talented, amazing fringe benefits, work/life balance, dedicated managers to help you with your career, and passionate players to serve.

Cons

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.
