      Pros

      - Plenty of challenges and opportunities to grow, And the company not only motivates you to grow, but directly helps you to do so. - Your opinion gets heard if you have good arguments. Different from places where you need to have connections instead of good ideas. - It is the game industry you are working in and the majority are gamers. So they understand what it means to platinum Dark Souls.

      Cons

      - It might be challenging to balance work/life if you are not disciplined or a workaholic. There are plenty of work and there will always be. It is up to you to find the balance between your results and your health. And yes, it is totally doable. As matter of fact you will get better at your personal life if you invest yourself in doing it right. - The company is on constant change and development, so it most likely will be overwhelming at first and could leave you frustrated for while.

      Pros

      I have been working at Riot Games São Paulo Office for more than one year as a Rioter (it is a fact that I used to be a contractor for more than 2 and a half years for Recruiting). I was inspired by a review from another Rioters and I share his opinion so I will start with his statement: "I'm not sure how to break this down into a simple list of pros and cons. Everything about Riot is dual-edged and requires consistent grounding to maintain realistic perspectives. If I could summarize, Rioters are given great power. "And with great power comes great responsibility.""" - Flexible work hours ("We are worried if you are and can deliver, not in how are you going to do it"); - You are expected to be the best at what you do, that raises the bar for you and the team; - Great office structure and localization; - Very nice perks and swags; - Awesome special events (massage, afternoon coffee break, team outings for team building, Riot Rumble!); - Play LOL during the day; - Horizontal Structure, from an intern to the CEO, everyone have access to everyone, the is no politics in therms of with whom I can relate and talk; - Open feedback (from Global Surveys to special classes that help us consolidate and grow a true open/actionable feedback culture)!

      Cons

      Please do not see these all as negative points of the experience but maybe some that are challenging for people that work here. - Misuse of the Riot's Manifesto, sometime you can engage with people that use the Manifesto in a wrong way, either prioritizing their opinion above the players needs or stating something as an unbreakable truth. - Bro-culture, I believe there is still this bad legacy from a subject (games) that in the past we had a majority of man as main audience and public. IMO this had changed and we need to eliminate behaviors that are complacent to a Bro-culture. - Work-pace, I sometimes struggle with the pace on making decisions and "making the well spin". I think this is regarding a fear of risk taking or complacency...

      Great place to work

      Pros

      Riot is a great place to work. The company really takes care of its employees, office is awesome, and there are many awesome perks such as free food and drinks, great equipment, international travel multi times a year, company retreats and more. The culture is also amazing, people are really encouraged to give candid feedback and help you grow and develop as a professional. And of course, if you're a gamer, this is your place to be. Riot live by it's philosophy of being the most player focused company in the world, meaning you have the autonomy to create great things that players will love, and see your work impacting people around the globe.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is nearly impossible, I'd say. Specially if you're working on some specific areas such as eSports and live shows, you'll be away from home and working around the clock a lot. Rioters working in regions outside the HQ in Los Angeles are seen as second class citizens, which is not nice at all.
