Hey, thanks for taking the time to write this review. We’re actively working on building the best interview experience possible, and we know we have plenty of room for improvement. It sounds like you felt the interviewers were unsure of the exact position you were interviewing for and asked some less-than-relevant questions. That sounds pretty crappy, and it’s something we hope we’ve fixed since your interview.
You also mentioned the length of the interview. When interviewing for any position, we create a panel of Rioters from various disciplines around the company. For TCs, this usually includes engineers, dev managers, product managers, current TCs, and others depending on your career aspirations. We intentionally ask a broad range of questions to get an idea of not only what you’ve got on your resume, but also how you think and react to ambiguous problems. Because of this, our interviews have a reputation for being long and strenuous. We think it’s important to dig into as many areas as possible to make sure you’re a fit for Riot AND Riot is a fit for you.
It sounds like you’ve got some valuable feedback, and if you’re comfortable, I would love to dig into your experience further. Please feel free to email me at skrick@riotgames.com and I’d be happy to talk.
Thanks,
Sean Krick
