Pros

* You do what you're good at. Having started in a small European office when it was just set up, everyone helped with what they knew how to do. I work in Community, but I have web development and QA experience, so I helped out where I could. * People honestly believe in the game. Everyone here loves the game and even when we are unhappy with certain aspects, we know who to talk to and they're usually super receptive. * Riot accepts no constraints. So many things that in previous jobs I wouldn't have considered to bring up because they were obviously too big / too ambitious we just do here casually

Cons

* Communication is the big thing. People do stuff and don't necessarily always remember who else should know. Infamous "hallway discussions" take place where important decisions are made on the spot. Europe is often forgotten. A lot is changing here but this is still the biggest hurdle.

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
