I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Riot Games (Santa Monica, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
After my friend referred me, I had 2 phone screens before coming onsite for 6 interviews. The first 2 phone screens were conducted by a Vice President and the President of Riot. Onsite, I met with a host of Senior Producers and Producers. This culminated in another interview with the President.

Question 1
How do I know I should stop investing in League of Legends?
Friendly but weirdly difficult - interviewer kept a lot of information to themselves about requirements for the job and kept high level. Friendly but weirdly difficult - interviewer kept a lot of information to themselves about requirements for the job and kept high level.

Question 1
Flexibility in shows and issues that come up during those situations
Too extreme for an initial intro! Annoying interview questions for over 90 minutes. Boring interviewer for such a dynamic company. Even though I kicked butt during the interview, and received the full rundown on next steps, not one follow-up note. Such a waste of time for them and me!
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
6 interviews total--
First call is with the recruiter who will pass you off to another recruiter. Most of my first calls with Riot for other roles have gone well, but this one was rather cold. First actual interview is with the hiring manager for the position, was an absolute delight. (Also was considered a cultural interview, the "vibe check".) Second interview was with another manager who checked for technical expertise, but they don't go too in-depth. The next stage is four interviews with several different people. (Two cultural, one with someone on the team, another with a higher up from a different department, and two technical, someone from the team again and another manager from a partnering team.) All were fascinating conversations, but gave zero to no feedback. All questions are asking for a STAR method answer. Got rejected in final rounds with an automated email and no option to ask for feedback or even thank the recruiter. Not the most welcoming experience, but was educational
