Did two very pleasant one on one interviews, where they asked about experience within the industry. In the end we both agreed I wasn't a good fit for that position.

Question 1
How would you raise awareness of a game beyond the core audience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games (Santa Monica, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
It's a very thorough interview process. A call with a recruiter, job fit call with the HM, and a half-day of onsite behavioral interviews with a number of people. LOTS of behavioral questions ("tell me about a time..."). Be familiar with the STAR method of answering and PROVIDE EXAMPLES of the behavior. Onsite also included a work sample.
One culture-type interview felt more like another reviewer said, very "why do you deserve to be here?" rather than trying to understand and dig into the answers I was providing. Felt like the interviewer wanted a specific answer to a subjective question with no real "right" answer. It was the only interview I came out of confused about my status in the process. The HM was clearly looking for a VERY specific type of person for the role.
I was ultimately turned down because of lack of LoL experience, something I was more than willing to jump into for the role. I was independently told that this is not "supposed" to be a marker for hiring anymore at Riot, so be aware.
Overall, felt the process was challenging without being overly difficult and really enjoyed most of my conversations with the interviewers.

Interview
Rejected after the first coding round. They have given 40 minutes for 2 questions - one wherein you need to write SQL query and the other one is to write a python code (lots of control statements as it was more about reading the minute details of the question and get your code right)
