Pros

Passion, people are extremely passionate about what they do. Riot also compensates its employees much better than any other game studio.

Cons

Sometimes people take passion as a free ticket to be toxic. But honestly I've seen this happen at all companies. Also there's a lot of fat that could be trimmed at the company.

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.
