I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Riot Games
Interview
I interviewed with Riot Games in 2022. The process was entirely remote. From recruiter screening to offer, it took about 11 weeks. There were many interviews (totaling around 7 hours), but the interviewers were overall very friendly and interesting to talk to. They dove deep into my job history, work style, and problem solving skills. There were 2 interviewers that seemed less prepared or experienced, including one that went on many tangents and spent more time talking about himself than asking me questions. All interviewers were men. The recruiter often left me hanging for up to 3 weeks at a time, including when I requested updates. I did not feel that my time was valued. I only received updates when they needed me to take action for next steps.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Q: What is your experience working with stakeholders? How do you keep stakeholders updated? How do you work with stakeholders?
Q: How do you make decisions when there are multiple options? How do you determine what the right decision is? How do you prioritize who to listen to and what to work on?
Schedule an online interview with a recruiter for screening. Recuriter was late but apologetic, used AI for her notes, runs about 20 minutes. Got feedback in about two weeks didn't pass somehow.
I recently interviewed for a role with Riot Games and was initially in direct contact with an internal recruiter. Unfortunately, after investing time in the process, I received a very generic rejection email — unsigned and without any personal touch — despite having had personal correspondence earlier. I also noticed that the role had been reposted a few days before my rejection, which gave the impression that a decision had already been made before notifying me. While I appreciate that not every candidate can be hired, I believe the candidate experience could be improved by providing more timely, transparent, and personalised communication. I would not apply here again.
Waste of time. So many interviews over several months. Auto reject after 3 months of interviews. The position stayed online for 9 months after I got rejected. Recruiter couldn't give me any more information after being my best buddy for months. Made it to the final round..
