Pros

Coming from a traditional background (banking), I was not completely sure that the videogame industry would be a viable career. I could not be more wrong. It is a perfect place! Will you have the opportunity to work on something you're super passionate about... And this changes the way you see your work. The culture is not only a banner on the wall... It is really part of everyday's decision: hiring, investment, changes etc. It is a very open and transparent culture. You, as a gamer, will be working with other gamers to deliver amazing stuff for gamers. If you love this industry, that's the right place for you. Riot provides all the resources that you might need in your projects and trust for you to learn along the way.

Cons

Everyone has an opinion for everything and discussions can last for a long time if the direction is not clear. However, when the direction is determined, the delivery power is immense.

Pros

- Plenty of challenges and opportunities to grow, And the company not only motivates you to grow, but directly helps you to do so. - Your opinion gets heard if you have good arguments. Different from places where you need to have connections instead of good ideas. - It is the game industry you are working in and the majority are gamers. So they understand what it means to platinum Dark Souls.

Cons

- It might be challenging to balance work/life if you are not disciplined or a workaholic. There are plenty of work and there will always be. It is up to you to find the balance between your results and your health. And yes, it is totally doable. As matter of fact you will get better at your personal life if you invest yourself in doing it right. - The company is on constant change and development, so it most likely will be overwhelming at first and could leave you frustrated for while.

A place that truly values career

Pros

I'm still amazed at how much Riot invests in the development and advancement of Rioters. This is a place where you feel valued AND challenged; challenged to bring your A-game at every turn. The sense of being valued extends beyond development and permeates all aspects from compensation to advancement. The inane pressures placed upon employees of publicly traded companies simply don't exist at Riot. Delivering excellence for players remains top priority.

Cons

It's easy to become immersed in Riot and lose sight of the broader landscape. That's more of an onus on me versus Riot.
