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

Passionate co-workers who are all hyper talented, amazing fringe benefits, work/life balance, dedicated managers to help you with your career, and passionate players to serve.

Cons

Egos are rewarded you have to be really good at self promotion, the company is so big that you can feel lost if you don't invest in networking often, layoffs happen at Riot now

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
