Pros

There is a great culture of gamers and people passionate about what they do. There are great benefits, including unlimited PTO. There is unparalleled transparency into what the company's goals are and what they want to do.

Cons

Unfortunately, Riot doesn't meet it's own standards. The environment has become extremely political in the last 18-24 months. The company values are very often misused for whatever purpose is desirable at that moment. There aren't very good analytics or tracking, and decisions don't seem to be based on improving the core product. Salary is also based on 50 hour work week.
