Pros

Great benefits, good environment. You have freedom to grow and learn new things. The culture is great and positive most of the times, and you can default to trust with most colleagues. There are always new challenges to face and learn from. Most people are gamers and it's accepted to play during office hours as a break.

Cons

Everything looks great for the first few months, but soon afterwards the hidden issues come to the surface. Compensation is lacking, as Dublin is super expensive. Hiring is really slow, many departments are constantly understaffed, making people overworked or having too much on their plate. Additionally there are a few lazy people that do the bare minimum, dragging their teams and others behind. Office politics are very real, despite a claim for meritocracy. There's a general 'we're awesome' mentality, but it's pretty superficial. There's a lot of things that need to improve.

Pros

Riot truly cares about the player experience; it's their #1 focus, and it's clear in everything they do. I love the open feedback culture and work autonomy; it's a great environment for those who are passionate about what they do. One thing that drew me to Riot was the enthusiasm Rioters have for their work; it's amazing to work with such dedicated, passionate people. Riot has great amenities for Rioters, too: phenomenal food, spotless bathrooms, convertible standing desks, creative conference rooms, expansive courtyard, and awesome events - more than I'd ever dreamed of asking from a company!

Cons

There's a lot of "tribal knowledge" (without thorough or consistent documentation) in the data systems that make it hard for new people to dive in and utilize data effectively.
