Pros

Riot Games is a company that values its culture a lot and puts enormous effects living up to it. The company strategies are also communicated clearly to everyone so even there is no hierarchy, no clear internal processes and policies, rioters can make decisions indecently.

Cons

Given flexible working hour and vocation days, most of the rioters here work (and play games) really hard so the experiences are in general very intense. Also it is an environment made for self-starters, so a lay-back person won't be able to go far or win any acknowledgements. There is much peer pressure on self-development.

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

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
