Pros

Very talented people work there. The product is awesome. The brand and reputation make you feel a rockstar. Salaries are good and benefits above market.

Cons

If you don't build a feel-good relationship with specific senior managers you will not thrive. Nice people that don't do anything are better evaluated than hard working people rough around the edges. Meritocracy is a myth.

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.
