Pros

- you are trusted - you are empowered to do what you feel is best - there is no such thing as stepping on toes - every voice is respected and heard - bottom up culture, not top down - leaders serve, not rule (I am one of the leaders) - no micro managing - no glass ceilings - full of culture - high level of self awareness of everyone around you - everyone can move the needle, and when you do, people get behind it

Cons

- young team, more leaders are needed - current leaders are often stretched thin - some of our wants out pace what we can achieve. There is so much passion it is hard to remember to slow down and get it done right

Pros

- Flexible Work Hours - Excellent Benefits - Bright, Cheerful Workspace - Unlimited Growth Potential - Passionate, Driven Leadership - Excited, Supportive Management - Exhaustively in-depth interview process Riot Games is a pinnacle in the game industry, exemplifying the philosophy that a studio can maintain a large daily workforce, high quality and constant improvement and expansion without sacrificing work environment, salary or employee well-being

Cons

- Inexperienced leadership and management - Occasionally conflicting goals and strategies - Santa Monica traffic and living costs are prohibitive - Lack of feedback on performance from management - "Boys Club" mentality to process improvement and new ideas, if you're not already part of the in-group, your opinion is undervalued One downside of Riot's meteoric rise to publish the most-played game in the world is a lack of foundation building and infrastructure stabilization. Young leaders and managers bring drive and passion to a workforce, but inexperience and some naivete cause the success to rest on a shaky framework.

Amazing place to be...

Pros

Wonderful people. Wonderful game. Fun place to be with a lot for you to do and grow into if you are willing to show that you can handle it.

Cons

Unfortunately, middle management is going through growing pains right now. There are a lot of people in positions there that probably would do well in an established company but are doing less well in a company that is still defining itself.
