Had three interviews with riot. The last was with a girl who was rude, unprofessional, and seemed to be angry. At the end of the interview when she asked if I had questions for her I tried to be friendly and asked why she liked working at riot. She said, "that's a leading question, you shouldn't assume that I do like working here." Well based on her attitude during the whole call, I wouldn't want to be working near someone like her or someone who would act so unprofessional to a potential hire. And based on her words, not sure if I would want to work at a company with unhappy employees.

Question 1
Time you made a mistake that was completely your fault. She didn't want to hear how I fixed the mistake, only what the mistake was

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Riot Games (Santa Monica, CA)
Interview
The entire process took about a year and a half (yikes!) with MANY phone screens, some online tests, and culminating with a day long onsite interview.
Overall they said they really liked me, the team liked me, they thought my skills were strong and wanted to hire me, but... they thought I was lacking Java programming ability. I'm not a Java programmer and the only time Java was mentioned was by one person during the onsite interview (and he had me do some whiteboard coding problems... I was like "I don't know Java, can I do this in C++ or something?"). The hiring management apologized for the mixup, but it was a bit odd to go through literally a year of interviewing only to be cut out at the last minute because of a previously unmentioned skill requirement.
I really, really liked the company and the people though, and still use things I learned during the interview process. I think they are suffering through some growing pains though.

What is one way you would improve this interview process?
I'm sorry to hear about the length of the process, and the ambiguity around Java. It does sound like you've got a lot of experience with our team, so I'd love to hear more of your thoughts if you have the time! I'd be happy to chat via email at sgrobe@riotgames.com
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
In Order for Development Management. Phone Screen > Culture Screen > Tech Screen > Onsite > Secondary Onsite. The process is long, in some cases unnecessarily so but the reason is they;re trying to be thorough.
Thanks for taking the time to share a review! I'm always hungry for feedback to share with our recruiting team, so if you remember any other details to share, send me a message at sgrobe@riotgames.com
