Pros
- Everyone, from the leaders to player support and QA, is player focused. Everything Riot does is in the best interests of their players. I couldn't believe it when I joined ("surely they must think about money or budgets"), but they actually live by the philosophy of players first, always. No exceptions. - High hiring standards - you get the chance to work with talented, intelligent, and fun people almost exclusively. - Empowerment. No matter your role, you have a real chance to impact the game in a short timespan. It's not months after months after months before launching - you get to make a difference today.
Cons
- High standards means high turnover. Riot's culture can leave a lot of people feeling down at times. They have a culture of comradely, but also a culture of high standards. As a result, people will get let go that you might have had a personal connection with. - Not for everyone. Riot is a very busy and driven company.
