      Pros

      - Plenty of challenges and opportunities to grow, And the company not only motivates you to grow, but directly helps you to do so. - Your opinion gets heard if you have good arguments. Different from places where you need to have connections instead of good ideas. - It is the game industry you are working in and the majority are gamers. So they understand what it means to platinum Dark Souls.

      Cons

      - It might be challenging to balance work/life if you are not disciplined or a workaholic. There are plenty of work and there will always be. It is up to you to find the balance between your results and your health. And yes, it is totally doable. As matter of fact you will get better at your personal life if you invest yourself in doing it right. - The company is on constant change and development, so it most likely will be overwhelming at first and could leave you frustrated for while.

      Pros

      I have been working at Riot Games São Paulo Office for more than one year as a Rioter (it is a fact that I used to be a contractor for more than 2 and a half years for Recruiting). I was inspired by a review from another Rioters and I share his opinion so I will start with his statement: "I'm not sure how to break this down into a simple list of pros and cons. Everything about Riot is dual-edged and requires consistent grounding to maintain realistic perspectives. If I could summarize, Rioters are given great power. "And with great power comes great responsibility.""" - Flexible work hours ("We are worried if you are and can deliver, not in how are you going to do it"); - You are expected to be the best at what you do, that raises the bar for you and the team; - Great office structure and localization; - Very nice perks and swags; - Awesome special events (massage, afternoon coffee break, team outings for team building, Riot Rumble!); - Play LOL during the day; - Horizontal Structure, from an intern to the CEO, everyone have access to everyone, the is no politics in therms of with whom I can relate and talk; - Open feedback (from Global Surveys to special classes that help us consolidate and grow a true open/actionable feedback culture)!

      Cons

      Please do not see these all as negative points of the experience but maybe some that are challenging for people that work here. - Misuse of the Riot's Manifesto, sometime you can engage with people that use the Manifesto in a wrong way, either prioritizing their opinion above the players needs or stating something as an unbreakable truth. - Bro-culture, I believe there is still this bad legacy from a subject (games) that in the past we had a majority of man as main audience and public. IMO this had changed and we need to eliminate behaviors that are complacent to a Bro-culture. - Work-pace, I sometimes struggle with the pace on making decisions and "making the well spin". I think this is regarding a fear of risk taking or complacency...

      Pros

      Awesome culture, great people to work with, great opportunities. Everybody is really open and ready to listen to others' point of view. Really constructive discussions happen all the time.

      Cons

      It can be hard sometimes to know who to talk to in order to get access to the right information. Sometimes, the lack of structure can have a negative impact as it seems nobody really wants to take the decision which causes delays and makes the community think we do not know where we are going.
