Pros

Player focus is more than marketing. Riot works very hard to stay driven and humble through success and failure. All conversations are on the table across the company, politics exist as they do with all social systems, however Riot has done a amazing job of finding a healthy balance.

Cons

Riot is a global company and travel is expected in order to maintain healthy team coordination. LA is definitely the center of Riot, which comes with pros and cons.

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.
