Pros

I worked with an amazing team of smart, creative, collaborative individuals on incredibly innovate content. Loved my team.

Cons

- If you are a blue badge (contractor), you don't get nearly the same kind of benefits as a red badge (full time) employee even if you're working there full time and contributing the same. You aren't treated well as a blue badge and have no safety or security and do not get the acknowledgment of your contribution on the project. - Management, in my experience was awful. Terrible at communication, supporting people who demonstrate poor behavior and management skills, and generally feeling like a second class citizen at the company because I was not a hard core gamer

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.
