Pros

- You'll have the opportunity to truly direct and progress your career - You'll meet some very unique and intelligent people who are also really nice - You'll be presented with problems you've never encountered before, and challenged to find solutions - You'll be given the freedom of an adult and thus control your schedule completely, but also be expected to perform your job. (I feel silly having to say it this way but many companies are pretty stuffy in this regard) - You'll get to be a part of League of Legends

Cons

- You'll often feel that communication is both overabundant (meetings where nothing of value is achieved) and yet somehow conspicuously absent (botched projects, misaligned groups) - You'll repeatedly hear grand plans that excite you and then be saddened to see them collapse or just never come to fruition.

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
