Pros

-player experience is the number one focus and this is made very clear. It makes it easy to understand where the companies and your priority should lie. - good product -location can't be beaten -decent pay

Cons

- some very young people in management positions with no formal training. It can feel like you are working with teenagers and a lot of frat mentality shines through - inexperienced managers - extremely long hours on a daily basis for anyone who is not in upper management. This just kills you in the long run, especially when you are asked to do more and more and more. - you will always be asked to do more and more and more and you can't say no because you will be laid off -no communication between departments - it can be scary to see how many people are let go on a weekly basis. The turnover rate is high!

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
