Every part of the Riot Games interview process feels like they interview hundreds of candidates to appear to be selective. It's pretty clear this process is putting a strain on their own employees and seems that it would be pretty indicative of systemic problems throughout the organization. Let's start with the job descriptions that are left intentionally vague, without even a basic inclination of work/project area. Let's follow that up with absolutely nothing for experience requirements to have a baseline of their expectations. Now we'll move on to scheduling: It's done by a bot (why!?!?) of my three interviews, they were rescheduled 8 times, 3 of which with <24hrs notice. Half of the interviews had the interviewers switched last minute due to availability. This leads me to believe that the bot simply looks for open calendar space and assigns the interview in round robin fashion, thus giving the interviewers minimal time if any, to review candidate backgrounds. The interviews: My interviews generally consisted of an agenda that was never followed. My interviewers all showed up fairly late due to "this interview being tacked onto their schedule last minute" and they were attempting to multitask during the interview. This became a little bit more frustrating when interviewers were actively texting on their phones on the video interview. Expect to be asked a ton of hypothetical questions while still having no understanding of what area of the company you'd potentially be working in or what you would be working on. You should also expect to be familiar with the 'Riot Manfiesto' even though in my particular case no HR people ever mentioned it's existence to me. After your investment of ten or so hours you can expect to receive a generic rejection via a 'no reply' email. When your employees actively boast that they interview 200 candidates to hire one, it seems a bit in poor taste to provide absolutely zero feedback. Beyond that, I've interviewed at many places and I'd have to say Riot's process is one of the worst, both for their own interviewers and for the interviewees as it seems to put an necessary strain on both. I'm solely providing feedback in hopes that they are able to inspect it a bit and look for some improvements.
