Pros

- "Culture' isn't just a buzzword here. Most Rioters share this invisible bond of common values, ambitions, beliefs and work ethics. - Company spends tons of resources on sourcing/evaluating new talent (to ensure "culture fit"), while providing royal treatment to Rioters. Benefits, programs, training, getaways are all fantastic. - Almost everyone here is a hardcore gamer, though there is no hostility towards those who don't play much. "Geek brotherhood" feeling is very strong here, though. - Riot are paladins of video-games industry - for a corporation of its size and wealth, it's still operates in accordance with its player-centric approach from early days. Most Rioters (even senior leadership!) don't take themselves too seriously and being in the same room with CEO/President is not intimidating at all.

Cons

-Workload could be huge sometimes and company moves forward with a speed of light, so sometimes it could be difficult to keep the pace without feeling overwhelmed. -While LAX office culture and atmosphere are excellent, regional offices across the globe could differ from that depending on the local leadership, its values, background, etc.
