      Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 3, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Santa Monica, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games (Santa Monica, CA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Applied at college career fair, did 2 rounds of google hangout + hackerrank interviews. First one was non-technical, and 2nd one was technical. I was invited to fly to Santa Monica, and I did 1 technical, 1 semi technical, 1 non technical, 1 lunch interviews. I was very surprised when they sent me a very long descriptive rejection email, because no other companies really do that. They explained all the things that impressed my interviewers, and the things that gave them a pause. According to them, I did extremely well on the technical evaluations, and impressed them with my knowledge of algorithms and the source control systems. However, at Riot Games, they want engineers that are more than just engineers. They want the engineers to be able to explain their reasons behind their prioritizations, assumptions, etc. If they were just looking for engineers that were smart and could code very well, I probably got the job. But Riot Games looks more than that, and I really respect their decision. This was one of the fewest interviews where I really learned a lot, and found what areas I need to improve in.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      NDA. But 50% of the time were technical questions, which I answered extremely easily and well. Other 50% of the time were nontechnical questions, and they ranged very widely, which I did slightly poorly on, and the reason why (as they told me) I did not get the job.

      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.
