I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games
Interview
Three days after submitting resume, received an e-mail for arranging phone screen schedule.
First phone screen for personality took place one weeks later, mainly to check the reason why I want to change my domain from non-game to game.
And second one for technology one more weeks later, which I could not pass.
Received e-mail including evaluation and reason for rejection in two business days.

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.
