Pros

Growth opportunities. Coaching. Great leadership team. Employees are cared for. Believes in its mission. Solid talent in engineering, game design, and art. Plenty of resources available to control destiny. Fun team. Humble but challenging the norm.

Cons

A lot of work, still need to hire more people, but anyone can move the company forward. Office not yet on par with top tech startups. Expensive to live near office. Not family oriented company.

Pros

Great if you love game, and enjoys to work with smart people and explore the latest technology. Great for someone loving to work on not well defined tasks.

Cons

Lack of work-life balance. Lack of structure due to fast growth. Could be challenging for people with family. Will be challenging for someone who is not a core gamer

Pros

I rated Riot 5 stars because the company is a great fit for me. I fully recognize and acknowledge that this company may not be a good fit for a lot of people. Most of what I write could be taken as a pro or con depending on your work preferences... (Pro/Con) You need to check your ego at the door to succeed here. We have some of the world's top performers in their respective industries here but there's also a strong culture of feedback so if you're sensitive to hearing anything negative about your performance or work, you might not like working here. (Pro/Con) Plenty of perks and benefits for employees. As part of Riot's People Team, I can attest to the fact that we are constantly thinking about what will make our employees happy, maintain high-caliber work, and help them grow professionally. But tied to that is the expectation that they are going to deliver phenomenal work consistently (keeping in mind that one-off mistakes are okay and considered good learning experiences....as long as you learn from them). (Pro/Con) If you've been hired here, it's mostly because it's been deemed that your judgement can be trusted. Once you're in, Riot will really rely on you to use your best judgement to make key and critical decisions. That type of freedom can be liberating as long as you consider that you'll also be held accountable for these decisions if they don't turn out well.

Cons

(Pro/Con) There isn't really a work/life balance here, in part because most Rioters seem to be workaholics by nature, in part because Riot offers a ton of social and personal/professional growth activities that go on all the time, and in part because there's just so much work to do.
