Pros

This is a great place to work. Rioters are truly given the autonomy and tools to craft their career and level up the experience for players. It is a company that values your input and creates an open feedback culture where your views really do matter. You are responsible for your own work flow and career development and if you take the opportunity to shine then you will succeed. Riot is a very collaborative workplace where you will work across many functions and teams with the purpose of creating value for the players. You will be working with a bunch of smart and passionate people and this creates a very good atmosphere,

Cons

Very few. Your success at Riot is determined by how hard you work.

A great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely demanding and challenging environment, paying off in tons of satisfaction every day. Riot Games is not really a standard working place: it's more like a style of life, where love what you are doing and you get rewarded for that. What I really liked about working there is the passion in people, their professionalism, and ability to grow in many, many directions.

Cons

The company slowed down in the recent months/last year - it's probably because of its size, however it's not as lean as it used to be. Some features could be delivered much faster, however they land in the never ending coma state, where they are waiting for all regions to be ready or are reworked so many times that they are not relevant anymore.

The free form seat of your pants nature can cause severe stress. This can have a serious knock on effect and impact on career and life.
