      Pros and cons of heavy bureaucracy

      Pros

      In pockets you can still find really talented passionate and dedicated people

      Cons

      In response to the corporate controversy, Riot had made some great changes and some terrible ones. Riot's executive leadership now has a sizable group who do not care about players, and have been setting the example that not caring is a perfectly acceptable stance to have. Riot may be the most player focused 3000 person gaming company out there, but we are no longer the most player focused company. And it's not even close. On top of that, Riot has greatly slowed down due to needing Central approval for an embarrassing amount of simple every day tasks.

      Pros

      Amazing Benefits. Passionate People. Diverse Teams. Progressive Culture. Good work/life balance. Actually cares about its employees deeply. Great pay.

      Cons

      Different teams can give very different experiences. Not given a ton of direction, need to be very self-guided. Has grown very fast recently, and sometimes left some teams and structures disorganized.

      Pros

      Good pay, usually good work/life balance. Great new campus in Santa Monica. Free lunches from a very good cafeteria. Get paid to play the game.

      Cons

      Management seems down on relational database technology in general, attitude is to move everything to NoSQL technology. General lack of understanding of how database systems work (e.g. statefull vs non-statefull nature of db's.) makes it difficult to implement and provide on going support or improvements to data engineering. Beyond that there is a premadonna wall amongst many of the engineers that impedes progressive creative engineering solutions.
