Pros

- (some) great people to work with - good salary in comparison to other tech companies in Dublin

Cons

- toxic culture - you're either ally or enemy culture - less benefits: removing benefits (silently, you don't realize until you claim it and they tell you it was removed) - silent layoff: they're trying to make work miserable so you leave the company yourself, they don't have to deal with PIP or redundancy package. your day is full of micromanagement, dull tasks, gossip and blame then you realize it's time to leave - mediocre leadership: people are brought to leadership roles without any people management experience, vision, or competency. - wall street leadership: there are people above you who only played Candy Crush and that's their relationship to gaming. You'll feel like you're working in one of the Big 4 companies

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

Player focus, some of the coolest games on the planet, Riot does a great job of creating an environment where people can succeed and thrive

Cons

Crunch is on the rise, fiscal discipline on exploration is still too loose, lots of layers of management
