Pros

- "Culture' isn't just a buzzword here. Most Rioters share this invisible bond of common values, ambitions, beliefs and work ethics. - Company spends tons of resources on sourcing/evaluating new talent (to ensure "culture fit"), while providing royal treatment to Rioters. Benefits, programs, training, getaways are all fantastic. - Almost everyone here is a hardcore gamer, though there is no hostility towards those who don't play much. "Geek brotherhood" feeling is very strong here, though. - Riot are paladins of video-games industry - for a corporation of its size and wealth, it's still operates in accordance with its player-centric approach from early days. Most Rioters (even senior leadership!) don't take themselves too seriously and being in the same room with CEO/President is not intimidating at all.

Cons

-Workload could be huge sometimes and company moves forward with a speed of light, so sometimes it could be difficult to keep the pace without feeling overwhelmed. -While LAX office culture and atmosphere are excellent, regional offices across the globe could differ from that depending on the local leadership, its values, background, etc.

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.
