Pros

I was able to "lane swap" from the Research department to the Production department pretty smoothly, so there's ways to open up opportunities for yourself for growth. Riot also makes it easy to transfer between games, so if you get bored of working on one game, you can search the internal job board to find openings on other teams. Also, the pay, for a gaming company, is extremely high (no stocks though, since it's privately owned).

Cons

Leadership is in shambles; the current CEO is a former Wall Street guy who used to be Riot's President (and CFO before that), but he didn't correct the spending of his predecessor so he's dramatically cutting costs, and content quality, now that he is CEO. Most managers here are first-time managers, so it's luck of the draw if you'll get a great manager or a poor one.

Pros

- Incredible perks - Incredible community - Incredible salary - Healthy work culture

Cons

- Company just laid off 500 people - Writing & Editing discipline lacks organization, leadership, and direction (although everyone is lovely, highly skilled at their craft, and well-intentioned) - High-level employees are heavily encouraged to become managers because it is the only opportunity for career advancement, not because they're suited for it/passionate about it
