I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Riot Games (New York, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
Relatively polite and friendly group overall. Job seemed better paid than similar industry jobs, but also seemed to be asking for a lot of crunch time with several questions about overtime.
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.
Very detailed and focused on craft, skills and quite a lot of case based questions aimed at understanding how my previous experience lines up with Riots values and expected behaviors.

Question 1
Apart from my craft skills, about my value alignment
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.
