Pros

Riot Games is motivated by the players. Everything the company does is to give the League of Legends players the best experience. Everyone at Riot Games plays LoL - so we all win!

Cons

Riot Games is short of Senior - Executive level leaders. If Riot can add some key, good culture fit execs, I see the outlook getting better. If Riot cannot find them, I see the company staying the same

Pros

Flat organization, you can talk to CEO and president directly. Every Rioter is very passionate about making awesome games.

Cons

Frankly speaking, it is VERY BUSY here. As the company goes bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that the problems many big companies have will appear gradually.
