Pros

Lots of exposure to amazing opportunity and fast paced growth. Allows employees to do what they're good at and passionate about. Very fast pace allows for rapid feedback. Fantastic product line where feedback is extremely important and dictates the direction of new ideas and workflows. Very good about recognizing those who excel and contribute meanfully.

Cons

Increases in reponsibility aren't necessarily concurrent with additional pay. Some cultural issues regarding secrecy. Potential problems with scale due to explosive growth of employee base.

Pros

From a technologists stand point and a former Yahoo where the people made the company I can only say nice things about Riot Games. The people, The people, The people. Everyone hired there is cream-of-the-crop and because of this you learn, and learn, and learn, and become better at what you do. The leadership structure allows those they hire to dictate where and what they should focus on something completely awesome if you're into technology. But of course to have reasons WHY something should be a certain way and follow though with it. The WHY is what makes this place great. They challenge your ideas and at the end of the challenge you come out with a very solid, FOCUSED roadmap to help the players of LoL.

Cons

1. Long hours. But they go by really really fast. 2. While I was there they put in a Starbucks coffee machine. it takes forever and a line starts to form,. Spark up conversation with the person next to you and itll go by faster. 3. Lunch time eateries. Not so healthy but with an onsite gym you cant complain. lol. 4. :-| No real cons to be honest.
