Pros

Great benefits - health, vision, dental, gym subsidy, etc LA Campus has fully stocked food Open office layout Serious focus on personal growth, but needs to be self-driven Decentralized product style Flexible work hours Freedom of technology - choose the stack that makes the best sense Clubs and other non-work activities Vidya gaems ftw LA campus is beautiful LA campus has parking deck Very pleasant coworkers Very protective of company culture Expected to be friends with coworkers

Cons

Open office layout Decentralized product style Flexible work hours - long hours will happen, but if you get called for an issue at 4am, you won't be expected until late the next day Sometimes too lenient Grew very fast and is experiencing growing pains Very protective of company culture I sometimes worry that perfect is the enemy of good Variable speed in product spaces - some move fast, some move painfully slow Communication issues occur -- both too much and too little communication; result of growing pains Hiring is slow due to culture requirements Expected to be friends with coworkers

Pros

Passionate co-workers who are all hyper talented, amazing fringe benefits, work/life balance, dedicated managers to help you with your career, and passionate players to serve.

Cons

Egos are rewarded you have to be really good at self promotion, the company is so big that you can feel lost if you don't invest in networking often, layoffs happen at Riot now

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
