      Pros

      Great benefits. 401k, free food and lunches, they pay for you to buy games, great community.

      Cons

      CEO playing favorites to employees who agree with whatever he says. Employees who dont agree, or truthfully criticize work are flipping a coin on their job.

      Pros

      -player experience is the number one focus and this is made very clear. It makes it easy to understand where the companies and your priority should lie. - good product -location can't be beaten -decent pay

      Cons

      - some very young people in management positions with no formal training. It can feel like you are working with teenagers and a lot of frat mentality shines through - inexperienced managers - extremely long hours on a daily basis for anyone who is not in upper management. This just kills you in the long run, especially when you are asked to do more and more and more. - you will always be asked to do more and more and more and you can't say no because you will be laid off -no communication between departments - it can be scary to see how many people are let go on a weekly basis. The turnover rate is high!

      Pros

      I was able to "lane swap" from the Research department to the Production department pretty smoothly, so there's ways to open up opportunities for yourself for growth. Riot also makes it easy to transfer between games, so if you get bored of working on one game, you can search the internal job board to find openings on other teams. Also, the pay, for a gaming company, is extremely high (no stocks though, since it's privately owned).

      Cons

      Leadership is in shambles; the current CEO is a former Wall Street guy who used to be Riot's President (and CFO before that), but he didn't correct the spending of his predecessor so he's dramatically cutting costs, and content quality, now that he is CEO. Most managers here are first-time managers, so it's luck of the draw if you'll get a great manager or a poor one.
