Pros

- Tangible passion amongst our people for games, and making our game awesome - really strong track record of empowering people to learn, grow and progress as quickly as they are able - Very practical in it's approach to making decisions generally - if something is a good idea, we do it whether it involves the game, benefits, our people, etc. - Flat, performance oriented culture - years of experience is not a key determining factor in how we hire or operate - humble, adaptable group of people - focused on continuous improvement and delighting our players - minimal politics and bureaucracy - good ideas win at Riot, whatever the source

Cons

- not for everyone - if you aren't passionate about video games, many roles here would be challenging - not a 9 to 5 job - great place if you are hungry to win, really challenging if you want a super predictable schedule or set of responsibilities - Company has grown very quickly - lots of changes and shifts internally all the time, need to be comfortable adapting to new challenges and situations
