I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
7-9 interviews, too many people, too long. Took around a month to complete the process. A 4-6 interviews should be enough. Having to interview with people I'd never work with shouldn't be a standard.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games
Interview
The whole process took about a month, I met with multiple people all the way up to the lead. I found it triggering that everyone I met with except for the recruiter was a male employee. And because it was deep during the pandemic 2020, every interview was done remotely, which is fine except one person was out walking... his reception was terrible, his video kept freezing and audio kept breaking, plus there was lots of street noise to filter out. Another person was petting his cat. I have a cat too, but it felt rude to not give me proper time or attention. I'm not the one getting paid to talk and listen... I also felt it was definitely a boys club because they assumed that I wouldn't know the subtle nuances within gaming culture. Their mannerisms and tones felt dismissive. I spoke to maybe 5 in total, and employee dodged questions regarding work/life balance or work culture.
