Pros

Good response to COVID (ability to work remote during COVID), especially helpful for pet owners Decent wages for immediate area living (if don’t need a big place and don’t hold out for bonuses) Female camaraderie is good, can tell you who to avoid – development is easier to be insulated from it, but not in PR or marketing They put changes in effect in 2018, but they don’t seem to have “stuck” and it’s more business as usual, seems more outward for show

Cons

Cons Have to work irregular hours to cover for other time zones, especially in PR Poor treatment and awareness for female employees and harassment allegations Nepotism, even in game design departments (Valorant, R&D) Poor awareness and disregard for business strategies with proven discriminatory nations and leaders (NEOM partnership), press will listen to you more than company will Boss feedback is rare unless negative Development team (Valorant) have to fight to get updates on features Lots of overseas coordination can get exhausting Despite PR blitz to show they are changing and provide a safer work place, it’s mostly a corporate front for outside eyes looking in Company’s vision for future does not inspire confidence

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.
