Pros

The interview process at Riot is long and hard (yes this turns into a pro). The recruiter who handled my case was honest about this from the outset, extremely responsive and kept me in the loop. However even with all this it was at times frustrating, BUT within 24 hours of starting my first day it became obvious why the hiring process is what it is. Sure it's about finding the best talent, but it's equally about making sure that everyone hired fits the company culture? So what is culture, is it 'we all like to joke around and have fun whilst we work'? No, it's the core values that Riot has - that our players are our first concern, that we need to do our best for them at all times, that we need to always be improving. Being in an environment where everyone shares the same values as I do is incredible. I'm now encouraged to follow my instincts, to push the envelope, to make mistakes, try new things, to unlock my imagination and drive any project I believe will bring our players benefit. There's also loads of perks - Gym subsidy, international travel, free lunches, game funds just to name a few!

Cons

I honestly can't think of any cons involved in working at Riot. I haven't been with the company very long, and I'm still very much in the honeymoon phase which doesn't show any sign of wearing off.

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.
