The interview process was long, but enjoyable. Week 1: I was contacted through LinkedIn by a recruiter working for Riot Games, followed by a short phone call with the recruiter to discuss the role and my suitability for it. Week 2: Sent over my CV & cover letter for the role. Week 3: I had an interview with the NOC team lead through Google Hangouts. This was a voice-only interview, where we discussed my CV in short, and then got to know each other a bit (we mainly talked about our favourite games). I was called a day or two later to be informed I got through to the next stage. Week 6: After this, we scheduled an interview with the Head of Live Operations and the Global NOC Manager. This interview was a 90-minute one also on Google Hangouts, that focused on technical ability and how you'd fit into the culture. In preparation for this, I had to complete a technical survey, to tailor the interview to my current level of knowledge. They called a day or two later to inform me I was through to the next stage. Week 8: I was invited on-site for a day full of interviews. This started at 11am and finished at 7pm, and the day went something like this: - Tour of the offices with the recruiter - Technical interview with NOC Engineer - Lunch with the NOC team lead - Game of League of Legends with NOC team lead, and everyone else who was around (in PC cafe on site) - Interview with Senior Development Manager, where we mainly talked about games - Behavioural/situational interview with someone from accountancy - Google Hangouts with 2 Live Producers, which focused on how you would manage priorities of incidents happening at the same time. - Google Hangouts with Head of Live Operations and Global NOC Manager; since we had spoken before it ended up just being another chat about games. - Google Hangouts with Head of Live Support covering some situational interview questions. After this, everyone gets together and gives a thumbs up/down & then discusses why they think you're a good/bad fit for the company. Week 9: I was informed that I was going through to the next stage and we set up the next interview. Week 10: Google Hangouts video call interview with the General Manager of European Operations, which was typical chat-style interview, with a few behavioural type questions. I was given feedback about that one the following day. Week 12: Google Hangouts video interview with 2 hiring sponsors, to make sure I fit in with their culture. This one was the most formal behaviour/situational type interview of the whole process. I was asked a lot about more negative aspects (what your worst qualities are, what you need to improve on, something that holds you back). The wait period after this was longer than the rest, I was told it went well about a week later and spent a further 2 weeks waiting for the next stage. Week 15: Job offer from Global NOC Manager! :)

The interview process was very well organized and effective. Recruiter is really nice and works on scheduling very well. One thing is for sure, get to know the company before going into the interview. Received valuable feedback that helped me on future interviews.
