Associate Software Engineer Interview Experience
Process
I applied online and received an initial phone screen.
I had two more phone interviews over the next few weeks and was flown out to Santa Monica for onsite interviews.
The onsite interviews were made up of a large panel of Rioters. There were a couple of pair interviews, a lunch interview, technical interviews, and cultural interviews.
I started my day around 10 AM and ended it around 6 PM.
After I returned home, I had a sponsor interview and received an offer a few weeks after that.

Lots of tribal knowledge required, which means you need to get good at just DMing people to get answers. Not a lot of room to grow past a Senior Engineer.
