I applied online and received an email asking me to take an online assessment. After taking the assessment, I had a phone interview with two QA staff at Riot.

It was a very grueling interview where they would pose a hypothetical item or situation and then ask whether I thought it was good or bad. As soon as I picked a side, they would tag-team argue with me, trying to prove me wrong with the side I picked. They did this with a couple of questions and it lasted about 40 minutes.

They then asked what I thought about Riot's culture and manifesto and whether I would fit in with it. It seemed like a strange question; how would I know about the culture when I've never worked there?

I ended up being denied, with one of the main reasons being I didn't have enough experience. This also felt a bit odd, since most of what we talked about didn't go over my previous experience. I was thrown off by the interview because I was expecting more questions about what I've done.

But I do see the value in the hypothetical questions to ensure I think outside the box and like a Rioter. I'll make sure to be more prepared next time.

What do you think about Riot's culture, and is it a good fit for you?
