Pros

Riot has attracted some amazing talent. By far the best engineering team i have worked with. The company is very focused on the players. The company is very employee growth focused as well. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

Not many downsides in my opinion. Company has grown considerably so it does not have the start-up feel it once did. Lack of a widespread bonus plan.

Pros

The company really feels like it's doing something different. They're aiming to change the game industry, and have already done it with their first product. Their investments into other pieces of the player experience (music, videos, esports, etc), is a real reflection of their commitment to the player and delivering value anywhere (and any way) they can.

Cons

It's hard work. Expectations are high, both internally and externally, and people looking for a 40-hour work week should likely stay away. This is a company that rewards go-getters, so people who can create and execute their own projects (while promoting visibility of those wins) will succeed.
