Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) nel mese di ago 2015
Colloquio
Applied. Had an online HackerRank coding test with a custom-made League problem that was pretty fun. Standard algorithms/DS knowledge. Passed all the test cases, next day I was contacted to set up a Skype/Hangouts interview. Was mainly just about my interests and whatnot - passed this. Invited to another Hangouts interview, but this one was very technical. More basic DS/Algorithms and some basic Distributed Systems questions. After this, was invited onsite for a day full of about 6 interviews - 2 or 3-on-one, and a mixture of HR/behavioral and technical questions. I also had to make a presentation for my interviewers in advance, on a topic of my choice. Got put up in a very nice hotel and got a tour of the Riot Games HQ which is awesome, had a lot of fun while there. All of my interviewers were extremely professional and the process was very fast, about 2 months total (which is less than average there). Accepted an offer a few weeks later.

Please make a presentation on any topic you're passionate about to teach Rioters something that you know well.
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.

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.
Interviewer had a Steven Hawking vibe. Lisp, didn't give me much eye contact, asked heavy behavioral questions but didn't give much feedback, just wrote down notes and next question, like a machine. No enthusiasm, guy's been there for over 20 years he's nothing like other Riot employees who's passionate. Barely even played League. Surprising experience I thought riot was vibrant and full of energy.
