Pros

Riot Games is a weird and awesome place to work. They strive to level up their employees are and offer interesting opportunities to learn new skills. There are so many projects happening at Riot that it is hard to stagnate and feel bored with your workload. There is an open PTO policy, a fantastic cafeteria, great workspaces, competitive pay, health benefits, and so many more perks.

Cons

This is NOT the place to come if you have a family. Not only is Los Angeles extremely expensive (throw away all dreams of being a homeowner) and not very kid friendly, but Riot does very little in terms of benefits or work schedules to help out parents. Most of the people working here are quite young and don't relate to the needs of someone responsible for a child. Finding childcare in LA is a nightmare and Riot offers no support or advice. The long work hours and expectation to always be at the office also doesn't jive well with a family homelife. Most people here tend to work a 10am - 7/8pm shift and it is hard to communicate why these long hours coupled with an hour commute to the family friendly suburbs are a huge problem for Rioters with families. Overall, working at Riot is AMAZING (unless you have children).

Pros

Riot Games is a company that values its culture a lot and puts enormous effects living up to it. The company strategies are also communicated clearly to everyone so even there is no hierarchy, no clear internal processes and policies, rioters can make decisions indecently.

Cons

Given flexible working hour and vocation days, most of the rioters here work (and play games) really hard so the experiences are in general very intense. Also it is an environment made for self-starters, so a lay-back person won't be able to go far or win any acknowledgements. There is much peer pressure on self-development.

Pros

By far, best place I have ever worked. The culture is amazing and truly unique.

Cons

The growth in the last couple of years have been exponential, and that generates a few challenges.
