      Pros

      People are genuinely passionate and care about the products.

      Cons

      You have to drink the kool-aid and it's much more political than you'd expect. One Riot is an alleged value but teams operate in silos and are under-staffed and risk averse so they can't or won't team up to get things done. Leadership is becoming more out of touch with products. They keep hiring leaders who are from industries that don't understand games.

      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
