      Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 16, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      Fairly standard game company interview in a big-company style. Recruiter phone interview, two-on-one phone interview with the relevant team, a Skype/HackerRank interview, then an all-day on-site. On-site starts with a panel with all your interviewers, then a full day of hour and half-hour interviews, finishing with a literal boss level (the HM and their boss). In League terms, you need to have your ult up for that encounter because it is the last-hit of the process. Technical interview difficulty level is industry standard, not super-challenging. The people are easy to get along and very sharp. They love to hear about learning experiences, positive and negative, so have lots ready to tell. The campus is super-impressive even if you've been to other fancy offices, but don't get too much at the caf because that's when you interact with a peer group to help measure your cultural fit. It turns out being player-focused at the level of individual developers is about making sure everyone plays League. The more League you play, the better. If you're more of a console gamer or don't happen to play League, you should play as competitively as possible (and try all game modes) for at least a couple weeks before applying and make sure the community doesn't drive you crazy. You're not expected to follow esports at all if you're not working on that side. If you can talk about playing the game and express your gaming interests clearly, they won't be too worried that you're not Level 30 and noone will care if you're stuck in Bronze. Below level 10 might be a little embarrassing though, and yes, they will ask about that and how you like to play League, just as small talk. Communication with recruiting is very good, but the overall process was very slow. It's hard to get interviews and onsite scheduled, then you have to wait two weeks for the offer. So this might not be a good choice for a just-laid-off developer.

      Application

      I interviewed at Riot Games

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I interviewed at Riot Games

      Interview

      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.
