Pros

- Everyone genuinely wants to do what's best for players. Cross-team collaboration is painless when you all have the same end goal in mind. - Lots of freedom. If you see a problem or gap or think of something that could benefit players or Rioters, you have the power to make it happen, regardless of what team you're on. To that end, you have a level of control over your career at Riot that I've not experienced anywhere else. - Great culture! Feeling at ease with the people around you makes it easier to work and makes the work you produce better. - Riot has a very open-feedback culture: Everyone feels empowered to give feedback on anything, and you will have no problem getting feedback when you request it. You'll never find yourself stuck working in a vacuum unless you reaally want to be.

Cons

- The interview process is painful and candidate experience is "less than ideal" let's say, but that's something they're working on. - Some teams seem understaffed, but the heavy workload they deal with plus the rigorous interview process makes that an extremely difficult problem to solve. - Work-life balance is rough. This is partially a problem resulting from too much autonomy and not enough manager-managers. Ultimately it's on Rioters to manage their workload and hours, so if you're more comfortable with having a manager help you do that, you might struggle here. That being said we've started programs to help managers level up and be able to spot those times when they need to step in and help.

Great place to grow

Pros

Seemingly unlimited opportunity for the hungry. Work with many intelligent people.

Cons

Work life balance is on you. Inter team communication is not great not for lack of trying. Many small empires being created within the past year or so.
