Pros

Talented coworkers and passionate peers Fun projects and work Decent compensation They feed you really good healthy food (commuters only)

Cons

Legacy software, bloated processes and management/leadership Typical corporation stuff, questionable workflows and development mindset Work silo/weak communication between teams leading to burnout, lack of understanding when it comes to development vision Leaders and point people are sometimes clueless to seemingly obvious or glaring problems until they are met with big backlash down the line Teams generally produce great results, but it could still been more effecient and better thought out

Pros

Passionate co-workers who are all hyper talented, amazing fringe benefits, work/life balance, dedicated managers to help you with your career, and passionate players to serve.

Cons

Egos are rewarded you have to be really good at self promotion, the company is so big that you can feel lost if you don't invest in networking often, layoffs happen at Riot now

Pros

Player focus, some of the coolest games on the planet, Riot does a great job of creating an environment where people can succeed and thrive

Cons

Crunch is on the rise, fiscal discipline on exploration is still too loose, lots of layers of management
