      Results don't matter

      Pros

      Hyper intelligent and passionate people. Better than average comp for the industry. Excellent campus

      Cons

      Decisions are made through a social filter. Feedback is a two edge sword here. Used responsibly it can unlock amazing people to do amazing things. Used irresponsibly anyone can say anything about anyone else and they can be held accountable for it regardless of if it's understood or even true. It can lead to an environment in which results matter less than opinion.

      Pros

      - Being surrounded by world-class talent means my skills level up faster than I could've imagined - Because new hires are heavily screened, I don't have to deal with big egos or slacker behavior - The campus amenities are simply nuts; they take very good care of me while I'm at work - I've never been asked to stay late, come in early, or work weekends. Ever. - Significant others are given a strong social network to engage with, and are welcome to visit the campus - I'm allowed to give feedback across the board, to anyone, and they'll have a conversation with me about it - What I work on is largely up to me--if I take initiative in my interests, I am rewarded - The opportunities for growth are abundant. I see a clear pathway to follow at Riot, where I can be rewarded with all the skills and experiences I want.

      Cons

      - Lots of feedback comes to me from lots of directions - requires a humble attitude, and strong communication skills - Expensive cost of living nearby - slightly offset by higher pay rates, but given how ridiculously expensive LA is, wages would need to be much much higher to fully offset the cost - Rapid growth has left various systems with a fair amount of tech debt and related process dysfunction. It's annoying to work with, but has improved dramatically since I started (and is still improving. go team!). - Because we value making the right decision for players instead of a single manager's decision, stuff takes longer than usual. I'm okay with that, because I prefer the democratic approach. But I understand why some may get frustrated, and see this as a negative.
