      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      6 Aug 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Riot Games in Jul 2020

      Interview

      Process: Recruiter, "cultural fit" interview, technical interview Time: 20 minutes, 90 minutes, 90 minutes over the course of ~3 weeks (was during pandemic so all remote via phone, google hangouts, virtual whiteboard) Disclaimer: Riot doesn't have true Site Reliability positions at the time of writing this but these senior engineer roles mentioned overlap quite a bit and I really wanted to work at Riot. So YMMV. The recruiter was great, he took a different approach to recruiting for sure, super friendly. He found 3-4 additional positions and we discussed all of them and tried to find the one that made the most sense. I ended up getting processed for a slightly different role that seemed like it might align better. I was setup with a cultural interview shortly after that. 90 minutes of questions that would put you through a hypothetical scenario and see what you would do. Lots of scenarios and real life examples of problem solving. Also a few questions specifically about Riot. This interview was also great, the interviewer was easy to talk to and made 90 minutes feel very short. The technical interview was a little different: 90 minutes again, but the interviewer came in with a completely different energy than the first two people I'd dealt with so far. The first half was diving into my experience, really pressing for details and things like, "Why did you decide to choose that technology instead of X or Y", continuing, it felt like, until they could find some weaknesses in the design. The second half was a Hacker Rank test that I totally muffed instructions on and took me forever to dig myself out of, and could have been solved in about 10 minutes if I wasn't already rattled from the first half. We took the last 10-15 minutes to discuss the actual role/team and it was a good exchange that helped me get an idea of the responsibilities. Overall, everyone seems genuinely happy to work there and it was a pleasure interviewing. The recruiting staff is very warm and accommodating too.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      The interview process begins with a screening by the Riot Games recruiter, and then a series of 2 interviews, one personality screening with the team's producer and a second technical interview with a programmer on the team. The technical interview is preceded by a programming test which was a fairly simple task, and in the technical interview we discussed various topics relevant to Riot Games products at a high level. After the initial test and set of 2 interviews, I was invited to an additional panel of 5 interviews, with a subsequent programming assignment of higher complexity. In this second set of panel interviews, there were 2 technical interviews which were very friendly, low-stress and positive. There were also 3 personality-focused interviews, with the interviewer reading from a series of pre-prepared questions and then having me answer them.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Met with a recruiter that told me the process was 7 ROUNDS OF INTERVIEW EXCLUDING the phone call. A red flag to begin with, especially seeing that other people could get an interview done in 2 weeks. It took one week to get to the second round and it was a behavioral part and the interviewer acted very unprofessional and seemed like she wanted to get over with it quickly. Being very qualified for the position doesn't get you anywhere again, just a boys club.
