Pros

Riot has tons of passionate coworkers and very smart people to learn from during your time there. Use your energy well and build a network you can poach from later.

Cons

It doesn't really matter if you are effective or not. Your career progression and compensation won't correlate. Plenty of places for lazy people to hide and not do work, so why kill yourself when someone else will end up with the credit anyway? Lots of talking heads. Culture has been more or less destroyed by a certain individual.
