      Software Engineer Interview

      16 Sept 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Riot Games in Sept 2017

      Interview

      Was initially reached out for my application in Software Engineer. After a few weeks of communicating back and forth, I was sent to another recruiter for a more suitable role. I later found out that I was to be interviewing for a QA role. Ultimately I would have rather they given me notice through email instead of calling me with the expectation of interviewing for a SDE role. They said that in order to be part of the software engineer roles there, a minimum of 5 years of experience was needed or having experience at the top 4 tech companies or other gaming companies. It was a let down cause it brought my hopes up but also because I rescheduled other interviews for this "opportunity".

      I interviewed at Riot Games

      Interview

      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.

      I interviewed at Riot Games

      Interview

      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.
