Hey there,
Thanks so much for writing your review--reviews like yours help us identify our weak areas, so we really appreciate the time you took to give us feedback.
There are a few things in your review that I'd like to specifically address. Regarding your impression that the interview would be more casual, that's a miscommunication on my part. A casual interview can be a tough thing to articulate--we usually prep candidates around dressing casually, and I know that my tone tends to be very conversational in preliminary conversations. I do try to make clear that the onsite is a real series of interviews, and a sizable commitment for both the company and the candidate. So while it's casual in some aspects, onsite interviews are still formal in format and tone. Because of your feedback, I will definitely do a better job in setting expectations more clearly.
I'm sorry to hear that there was a disconnect around the feedback you received. We try our best to give clear and actionable feedback to candidates that have come onsite. We also try to continue that feedback conversation until that clarity is there--it sounds like, in this case, that didn't happen. I'd like to be able to continue that conversation, if you're willing, so feel free to contact me at bbarteldes@riotgames.com.
I'm very happy to hear that, in spite of your experience, you'll keep us in mind for future applications.
All the best,
Bill Barteldes
