I applied online. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Applied online and did an easy hackerrank challenge about building a game. Had a phone screen with a recruiter about the position, interests, and past experiences.
The whole process was alright until the recruiter asked if I had any competing deadlines/offers. I let them know in hopes of speeding up the process, but they seemed insulted and I was rejected shortly thereafter. Overall, it caught me off-guard and seemed unprofessional.

Why did you even bother scheduling this interview?
Online assessment then rejected even with perfect score on assessment. Essentially did not make it past resume screening (ATS). Not exactly sure what more I needed to provide on my resume but we live and we learn.
