Pros

Really nice people. Great campus.

Cons

I wish Riot would stop lying to themselves and each other. What they preach is not how they act. Inexperienced managers and poor L&D around training to be better managers is weak. It's really cliquey and unless you are in the clique you'll hate it. Diversity isn't their thing. Yes many women work there but they are not in management roles and definitely will never have a seat at the table. Poor hiring practices screen for ability to conform than the ability to bring a skill set to the table. Their diversity and inclusion efforts need to improve tremendously.

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.
