Avantages
There are lots of pros and I feel they are subjective to each person, but to me , the biggest pro is the culture at Riot. Previous companies I've worked for have a manifesto but don't eat their own dog food, that is not the case at Riot and it generally puts a smile on my face when decisions are made based around how impacting it will be our players overall experience (positive or negative) and focus is adjusted in a positive direction. I'm genuinely excited to be at work everyday. After a year that honestly hasn't changed.
Inconvénients
Hard Cons: - Location. If you plan on being close to work be ready for the sticker shock. - Location. If you plan on commuting to work, LA traffic won't let you down on being pissed off in your car :) - Work/Life balance requires refocusing on smaller teams. Meh Cons: - There is a high technical bar, that doesn't seem to stay in one place long enough to reach it, so lane swaps and teleports don't happen as much as you would expect. - The silo effect is real up until the last.. possible... minute....
