Pros

Everyone at Riot gets along, I've never seen any political posturing or people who don't like working together. The dedication to making a good game comes first and nearly every employee plays the game on a regular basis. Management is very open, you're told quickly when you do a good job and when you need to refocus rather than being surprised by an annual review.

Cons

Los Angeles is exceedingly expensive to live in, and Riot is located in a more expensive part of it. Being a live service style of game means you can be called in during emergencies, which isn't common in the games industry.
