Business Outlook

Pros

- A flat organization, engineering driven culture. - The company rewards risk takers that deliver awesome experience for our players. - I get to have an impact on millions of players, how cool is that? - I work with smart, passionate people. They make me a better engineer and developer and I am constantly trying to keep my skills sharp to keep up. I love it!

Cons

- The flip side of a flat organization is a bit of chaos. A bit of chaos can drive innovation, but sometimes it is a bit much. We're working on it. - We need to improve our ability to create processes that help us build our game better and reduce errors in our pipeline.

Pros

Young, modern, innovative, giving their employees all the freedom to grow, secure and always challenging, though I had a lot of offers from other companies in the past I've always turned them down. Riot Games is an amazing place to work for.

Cons

Harder to find an affordable house in Santa Monica (thus commuting every day). This is pretty much the only downside I can think of, as the rest is truly amazing.

Business Outlook

Pros

Incredibly intelligent people. Fun atmosphere. Passion for League of Legends. Young workforce, both in real age and attitude. Gamer focused. I feel very empowered to do great work and make a big impact. Work I do gets out to millions of players very quickly and is hugely rewarding.

Cons

Santa Monica can be expensive, but the weather is awesome. A rapidly expanding workforce means that we have to work hard to keep the company culture intact.
