Pros

Compensation and work perks The actual product (the games) are great and I feel proud to be working for the company that makes League of Legends.

Cons

Crazy-making levels of bureaucracy, even in roles where you're not impacting anything player-facing. You can't do or try anything without leadership buy-in, no matter what discipline. If you and leadership are sympatico, great! If not, good luck. You need to either be a tech genius, have god-tier charisma, or have no mind of your own (or pretend that you don't) to do well here. From another review here: "A job where you’re never at peace not because you’re challenging yourself, but because the higher ups are forever trying to out-do each other" ^^^ This! A million times, this!

Player focus, some of the coolest games on the planet, Riot does a great job of creating an environment where people can succeed and thrive

Crunch is on the rise, fiscal discipline on exploration is still too loose, lots of layers of management
