Pros

Free food and occasional swag. Smart people Nice offices

Cons

I live with other rioters, we talked about recent reviews posted and it inspired me to post. No reviews/pay increases Benefits are poor Most senior Managment likes to talk but not listen Pay is just bad Riot expects fanatic fanboy loyalty but doesnt do anything to earn it. No work life balance There is a have and have not culture here. Agree with the comment about the chosen few linked with Leadership.

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

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
