I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games
Interview
The guy asked 10 most generic HR interview questions such as "If your previous co-workers were here, what would they say about you?". And I mean a lot of those. Seemed like a very corporate place to work. He also said the employees don't have "vacation" or "PTO" so they can take of whenever they want (which translates to work all the time). I was probably disqualified as soon as I said I haven't played League of Legends.

Question 1
Name the last conflict at work and how you solved it. And a bunch of those types of HR questions.
Very detailed and focused on craft, skills and quite a lot of case based questions aimed at understanding how my previous experience lines up with Riots values and expected behaviors.

Question 1
Apart from my craft skills, about my value alignment
The first round was an intense behavioral with the Senior Engineering Manager. Next round was a take home assessment, and then a follow up interview to discuss the assessment. The follow up only did about 15 minutes about the assessment, and then it was 40 minutes of technical theory questions.
Interviewer had a Steven Hawking vibe. Lisp, didn't give me much eye contact, asked heavy behavioral questions but didn't give much feedback, just wrote down notes and next question, like a machine. No enthusiasm, guy's been there for over 20 years he's nothing like other Riot employees who's passionate. Barely even played League. Surprising experience I thought riot was vibrant and full of energy.
