Pros

I signed up to deal with the massive amounts of data that League of Legends collects. So if you are a data nerd you will appreciate: - volume and diversity of data - access to state of the art tools related to data crunching and analysis - the high value placed on how to turn data into a better experience for players General pros include - relaxed and friendly atmosphere - amazing potential for growth in all areas (profession, management, etc) - every level of Riot is keen to make both the player experience and employee experience better, and it's genuine.

Cons

- LA traffic is terrible. - High bar for culture fit is a good thing, but ultimately means sometimes there is more work to do than people available to do it. - Slightly family unfriendly (some meetings are scheduled between 5 and 7 pm, which conflicts with your kids schedule). Riot is getting better at this however.

Pros

People that work here are very valued. It's a great campus and there's a great, creative vibe. Riot really takes care of its people and has a great interest in making sure everyone feels part of the work that goes on.

Cons

That inclusivity can sometimes slow the process of creating new things down tremendously, hamstrings good ideas by involving far too many people than are necessary up front, and giving everyone the feeling that their opinion is as equally valid as someone else's when, in some cases - due to expertise or experience - it just isn't.
