Pros: Treat employees well. There are good perks and a genuine joy around what we create as a company. Good transparency.

Cons: Compensation and career opportunities aren't that great. Recent layoff situations seemed to be avoidable and could have been handled better.

Pros: Remote working is still possible.

Cons: No job security. In Q1, you are forced to enter "death note" goals for the year. In Q2 and Q3, there is a check-in, with only "on track" or "need improvement" options. Your manager can enter notes however they want, and you can be impacted at any time. Q4 is the annual review, where a manager can write anything and put you on "not meet."

Pros: From a technologist's standpoint and as a former Yahoo, where the people made the company, I can only say nice things about Riot Games. The people, the people, the people. Everyone hired there is cream-of-the-crop, and because of this, you learn, and learn, and learn, and become better at what you do. The leadership structure allows those they hire to dictate where and what they should focus on, something completely awesome if you're into technology. But, of course, to have reasons why something should be a certain way and follow through with it. The 'why' is what makes this place great. They challenge your ideas, and at the end of the challenge, you come out with a very solid, focused roadmap to help the players of LoL.

Cons: 1. Long hours, but they go by really, really fast. 2. While I was there, they put in a Starbucks coffee machine. It takes forever, and a line starts to form. Spark up a conversation with the person next to you, and it'll go by faster. 3. Lunchtime eateries are not so healthy, but with an onsite gym, you can't complain. Lol. 4. No real cons to be honest.
