Pros: Riot is for a particular kind of person. If you are technically solid, demonstrate talent with personality and drive, this is the place for you. I have had more fun in my first 6 months here than I have in the past decade plus of software development. I have had plenty of leadership roles at other companies with a slew of fancy titles. I was BORED. Riot allowed me to be creative, productive, and free from title and politics. They honestly care about their players first, last, and everywhere in between. Fortunately, Rioters are players, so we love to do the work that will also selfishly benefit ourselves!

Cons: The lack of management can sometimes lead to a lack of organization.

Pros: Culture and product is actually really cool.

Cons: I don’t think management knows what they’re doing. Priorities always seem to shift or are just completely unclear.

Pros: - Very serious about helping people advance and grow in their careers. - Extremely flexible with working remotely, time off, and quality of life decisions. - A lot of opportunities to learn from peers and outside sources. - Great benefits. - Laid back, but extremely productive office culture. - Everyone is held accountable for their work.

Cons: Core hours are an entire day (10 AM - 6 PM), whereas other companies may have shorter core hours, allowing a little more flexibility in everyday work hours.
