Pros

Cool company outings, food delivery, moving assistance, playtest mornings, fun dance party bathrooms

Cons

Testers are severely under valued due to the demand for these positions, company mentorship for leads to find their strengths and put them in the right position is lacking Instead of having coaching was basically let go because of one error that leaked through, manager was lacking management skills cause company grew too fast at the time Pay was absolutely disgusting. Took a pay cut with 3 years experience to move to LA to try this out, couldn't stand working 10+ hours a day and getting paid peanuts. You can make more than double this in any other industry

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.
