I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games in Nov 2015
Interview
After applying i received an online test of 3 hours on an online coddin platform. It was one single problem not so difficult. Even if my solution complexity was not the best I passed all the tests. After this i received a skype interview. It was not a tehnical interview

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.
