Pros

It is incredible that Riot has been able to maintain a "start up" feel, despite being as large as it is. Encouraging 1:1s and prioritizing transparency are things that I think Riot brings with it from the early days that are still working.

Cons

The sense of entitlement from some folks is gross. It's great to have access to snacks/meals, swag, events, cool tech equipment, and a beautiful campus - and at times people would complain because their favorite beer was missing from a cooler...or a free piece of swag was a different color than they were expecting. They would complain that their fun team offsite event didn't have an open bar, or that their manager denied a 5 week PTO request after they just got back from a vacation. While these people are smart and passionate, they're also not living up to the "humbitious" quality that Riot hires for.

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.
