Pros

Extremely demanding and challenging environment, paying off in tons of satisfaction every day. Riot Games is not really a standard working place: it's more like a style of life, where love what you are doing and you get rewarded for that. What I really liked about working there is the passion in people, their professionalism, and ability to grow in many, many directions.

Cons

The company slowed down in the recent months/last year - it's probably because of its size, however it's not as lean as it used to be. Some features could be delivered much faster, however they land in the never ending coma state, where they are waiting for all regions to be ready or are reworked so many times that they are not relevant anymore.

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

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