Riot Games

Motivated, passionate, and extremely intelligent people. Awesome & fun atmosphere. Truly "takes play seriously" to heart; Gamer/player-focused. Younger workplace (than most others I've been at). Impactful work - as an intern, my feature will impact millions of new signups worldwide. Brilliant leadership (I can understand why this place is the best to work); most days, I don't even want to go home. The weather is always ridiculously warm and sunny.

Santa Monica is expensive, and everything is really spaced out. It's hard to travel places without a car or some sort of ride-share app.

Rapid and constant hiring makes it hard to know everyone. Corporate culture has to be kept an eye on.

Sometimes, you can get thrown in the deep end of something without context or guidance.

Don't forget what kind of identity you want to set out for yourself. Sure, we have our culture now, and I'm sure we'll have it 3-5 years from now, but what happens after that?

How big are we going to get? Once we reach the scale of Amazon, Facebook, Google, or Microsoft, how will you ensure that the culture then is at least somewhat similar to the culture now?
