Pros
I'm part of the Talent Team at Riot Games Oceania and it would be super easy for me to write the most incredibly glowing review about how awesome it is to work here. Some would say that would be the smart thing to do. We're looking to grow our team so having someone from the talent team write about how awesome it is... my job's done :) What I've learned is that Riot is an amazing place to work, for a particular type of person. If you are someone who is self-motivated, driven by your own hunger for success and thrives in an environment where the only constraint is the level of your own ambition then Riot could be the place for you. If you're a gamer, looking to improve the experience for other gamers then you'll fit right in. The "perks" also stack up there too. You won't go hungry at Riot, you wont miss the latest cinema releases and there are many clubs for you to try your hand at something new. This includes your S/O - who are considered part of the team and are welcome as much as you are to these events. This is all cool, but for me, the reason I work at Riot is because I feel like I'm the master of my own destiny. I am empowered to achieve my goals by the best method I choose, and everyone is part of the decision making process as to what those goals should be. I have the freedom to get involved in a number of different projects but best of all, there is an acceptable freedom to make a mistake, learn from it and deliver again to a higher standard. I've been working with Riot OCE for just over a year now and it's been incredible. I've learned so much, about myself as much as anything else.
Cons
When you start you're pretty much 'thrown in at the deep end". If you can't handle it then maybe this is the wrong place for you. Our programs are still in their infancy and we need to do more in the Talent Team to tap into the bank of knowledge from the rest of Riot and roll our more development programs here in OCE. Riot also hires really slowly. This is actually a Pro because we're careful about maintaining our culture, and elevating it but on the down side it can be a strain on some of the teams while their team ramps up to capacity.
