Despite some recent rough moments, still the best place I've ever worked

Pros

Vast majority of my colleagues are intelligent, focused, collaborative, and passionate. Most leaders also seem much more competent than other places I've worekd.

Cons

For a long time Riot didn't really do lay offs. Now it feels like we're in the same boat as every other publisher - two layoffs in a year and multiple re-orgs. And it creates a lot of uncertainty. It might be the right decisions though.
