      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 16, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Riot Games in Sep 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".

      Question 1

      Would you like to work QA instead of Software Development?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Riot Games (Singapore)

      Interview

      Slow and tedious. You have to wait 2-4weeks for each stages of interview that only takes 1hour. And I'm not sure if there's like 4-6 stages total or something. So you are in this dragged out nerve wrecking anticipation the entire time. And each time u have to somehow get the time off to do this interview. It seems to be a great company but they don't respect the interviewee's time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Includes basic stuff like how does browser work to how does game networking work etc. a broad range of questions related to games development.

      Application

      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.
