Pros

- Amazing perks (great health benefits, fully subsidized meals and snacks, unlimited PTO, and more) - Passionate people that truly care about the player experience - If you ask, many are willing to teach you about their work - Many do take play seriously to keep themselves current in the industry - In general, Rioters have the best intentions - The quality of work expected is really high - They take community feedback to heart

Cons

- Entitlement and complacency is growing - Weaponizing the mission and manifesto in defense of being questioned about their work and decisions instead of justifying the why - More Rioters not seeking to understand the cost (resources and time) of what they ask for - Compromising strong cultural values for specific skills in new hires, bringing with them toxic bad habits from previous companies - Several manual processes that have carried on from the older days are still around, causing more slow down in productivity.

Pros

The people. So nice, so passionate (albeit in pockets). Benefits! Great insurance and vacation.

Cons

Quite corporate. Rigid structure. There is reluctance to take risks. Difficult to move between projects or roles as a producer.

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.
