Pros

Riot's a leader in the gaming industry, people that work there are among the brightest in this industry, and the company's pay + benefits are top of the line for gaming.

Cons

It can be a challenging environment where people are expected to be high performers. Personally I don't consider that a con but I'm sure some people do.
