Pros

Great benefits. Really good compensation. Beautiful campus and generally nice people - for the most part. Relative automonomy given to teams that can be good for a while.

Cons

I wish the company practiced what it preached. The feedback culture seems great when it is sold to you as a candidate but once you are immersed it becomes suffocating and paralyzing. Meetings are a constant. Meetings about meetings. Discussions about doing without ever having time to do. The games during work sound great but make focus very difficult. Add in the open "no office" environment and it is not a surprise that things take forever to complete.

Pros

Player focus, some of the coolest games on the planet, Riot does a great job of creating an environment where people can succeed and thrive

Cons

Crunch is on the rise, fiscal discipline on exploration is still too loose, lots of layers of management
