      Pros

      LOVING my job at Riot. This may not be true for all Rioters, but for me, my job at Riot was a lifestyle change. Riot not only creates the environment and the culture for you to innovate and come up with crazy ideas, but also empowers and supports you every step of the way. From day 1, I felt like I had every right to go in and voice my concern with any process, and suggest/implement changes to better the company. Seniority and politics don't come into play.

      Cons

      Things to consider- overtime happens...constantly. Everyone works around the clock, and puts in extra hours. I have never completed all of the tasks that I want to finish in a day, and never felt content heading home after work. The thing about Riot is that we hire a lot of overachievers and workaholics, and right now, we are hiring like crazy. But with all the tasks that need to be done, our team still runs very lean. My day is filled 150% with tasks that need to get done, that I don't get the chance to push the limits. I constantly feel like I have to choose between doing my job, and acting on an amazing idea I have to boost our team. I'd like Riot to be better staffed so I can do what I was hired to do, and improve the team, rather than only taking care of emergent tasks at hand.

      Pros

      Caring and Thoughtful Company Culture - always finding new ways to make you feel like a part of a great team I am given autonomy and am allowed to take responsibility to make a real difference at this place. There are so many opportunities but you need to know how to take them. What I was hired for is not what I am doing today and that was my choice - I saw a gap and I filled it

      Cons

      Lack of mentorship. I'm able to grow but I have to do it on my own. Poop and swoop feedback is a real problem here and it's not just from the upper management.

      Harder than you realize, more rewarding than you expect

      Pros

      Let's start with what I do. I'm a software engineer, building content I care about. I'm on an energetic team who is deeply invested in what we do. I'm reminded every day to think what is best for the player, and how we deliver value. It makes the hours fly by, when you're surrounded by talent and passion. Work can be chaotic and there's not always someone telling you what to do. Self-motivation is a DEFINITE must. No one is going to baby you here. PTO is second to none. Life comes first, and if I have an emergency or something I need to take care of, I never feel pressured to put Riot or my work first. Work-life balance varies from team to team. My team has a great balance of core hours and productivity, and our schedules are flexible to accommodate family and other commitments. As long as you continue to deliver on commitments, no one is going to tell you to work until 9:30pm. If you want to stick around and hang out with your own friends playing the new Legend of the Poro King mode though, no one is going to stop you =)

      Cons

      What we do isn't easy, and it's emotionally taxing telling yourself and your team that we can do better. Feedback on my team is very open, and I've had my mistakes pointed out more than a handful of times. But it's not malicious, but instead feedback that helps me not make the same mistake twice =) Your career growth is in your own hands. Make a fuss, stand up, and fight for what's important to you. This can be daunting for some people, but you're idea might clash with other passionate people. Be prepared to fight for it. It's not always clear what's the next step, or what should be done next. There's a lot of cross-team collaboration, so you'll need to play nice. The great part about Riot's strict hiring process is the fact that I know everyone else also has the players' best interests in mind... Sometimes that's the common ground needed to make compromises =)
