Pros

Riot Games is a place you can really grow both personally and professionally, taking on more complex responsibilities and owning whatever you can. People working here really do love their work and try their best to do what is best for the players in the long term, even when we don't succeed. Most managers do a great job of doing the small things right, from arranging celebratory dinners, to recognizing key contributors, to little things that acknowledge when you do a good job.

Cons

The truth is that your experiences at Riot will depend heavily on your manager, your team, and your discipline. Some teams are awesome with high levels of cohesion, while others don't have accountability or great work environments. It is really hard to call out any particular team or discipline as there are people in all disciplines who work selflessly, but the people who normally get ahead are those that are friends with senior management or who are directly hired into positions they aren't any more qualified for than people currently in the organization. It's a sad fact that people doing similar jobs in different parts of the organization get paid different amounts and many of the people brought in over the past year are paid more than the rest of us and aren't bringing any more value.

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.
