Pros

The devs you work with are some of the most talented people you'll come across. They're genuinely passionate about the games and players. For the most part, Riot's done a good job of building a welcoming culture that's come a long way

Cons

Leadership is completely disconnected from the day-to-day realities. Decisions are made in a vacuum without talking with the people affected by them. A new, contradictory strategy and fresh reorg is invented every 6 months. Career opportunities and collaboration between teams are based on who you know and internal politics

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

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