Pros

I work at Riot Games for couple of years in Europe and I've been really happy with the atmosphere and my work. - High diversity (lot of women!) - Good pay and nice bonuses - Open communication and collaboration - Lot of freedom in making decisions in the publishing (marketing) field - Opportunities for creative work - Unlimited PTO and work model 1-3-1 - Benefits (healthcare, game funds, assistance programs, gym and way more)

Cons

- Sometimes work hours aren't EU friendly because of LA - Too low headcount for many EU offices covering multiple languages and games - Work under pressure + short deadlines

Business Outlook

Pros

- Dublin office is full of passionate, talented, mission-driven people from all over Europe. - Pretty good work life balance, especially for a gaming company. - Plenty of on the job / off the job opportunities to make an impact for players. - As good a place to solve global, interesting problems as any.

Cons

- Multiple 'tiers' of employees. Long history of cutting contractors on a whim, even before the contract terms are up. - Too much authority is centralized in LA. Regional offices have very limited autonomy. - Extremely long interview process (2 months is fast, 3-4 months is typical)
