Pros
Riot is a great place to work -- I've worked for many big companies around St. Louis, and if you're looking for a great place to grow, learn and have fun Riot is it. * Culture. * Gaming. * Free Lunches. * Flexible Schedules * Great Pay/Benefits * Location The Gaming industry has a stigma of pushing people to work long hours... but I've been here over a year and never had any of that pressure. Most people work typical 9-5ish schedules and everyone here seems to have a great work/life balance. People that do decide to work late do so because they are excited about what they are making progress on -- not because they are expected to.
Kontras
This isn't really a con... but if it reads like one to you, then this might not be the place for you... * You need to be highly motivated and willing to self-start / learn on the job. Things move very fast at Riot, and you need to be passionate about doing great work and finding ways to add value to the company. No one is going to tell you how to do your job (usually). You'll be expected to find ways to be productive and make awesome happen without always being told how. * You'll need to do some travelling to California a few times a year. Everyone is flexible with dates and you can skip out on some travel if you have conflicts -- but it is to your benefit to travel to HQ when you can.
