It's a cult

Staff software engineer

Business Outlook

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.
