Prós
+ Everyone is super passionate. If there's a way that riot can do some thing awesome for the players, everyone is immediately on board + Work alongside very talented people, some of the best in the industry + Great culture, everyone in the company (including player support, QA, etc) is encouraged to give suggestions on how to improve the game and the company as a whole (and suggestions are taken seriously) + Very open, player-focused mentality, everyone plays League of Legends, and wants to improve it for the players + Talent, creativity and consistency of execution are more important than seniority for being hired/advancing + Just a really fun place to work, everyone loves their jobs, and the shared culture makes it super easy to make friends + Very challenging work, people are always encouraged to grow and test their limits + I honestly wouldn't want to work anywhere else in the industry than Riot Games (and I've worked at other big game companies)
Contras
- Riot games is a newer company, there are some developmental hiccups, and processes are frequently shifting (although this typically leads to better processes) - It's expected that you're willing to work hard and do a good job, not a great place if you want to have an easy 9-5 sit and do nothing job :)
