Process

Applied.

Had an online HackerRank coding test with a custom-made League problem that was pretty fun. It tested standard algorithms and data structure knowledge. I passed all the test cases, and the next day I was contacted to set up a Skype/Hangouts interview.

This interview was mainly about my interests and whatnot. I passed this as well.

Next, I was invited to another Hangouts interview, which was very technical. It covered more basic data structures and algorithms, along with some basic distributed systems questions.

After this, I was invited onsite for a day full of about six interviews. These were two or three-on-one, and included a mixture of HR/behavioral and technical questions. I also had to prepare and deliver a presentation for my interviewers in advance, on a topic of my choice.

I was put up in a very nice hotel and given a tour of the Riot Games HQ, which is awesome. I had a lot of fun while there. All of my interviewers were extremely professional, and the process was very fast, about two months total (which is less than average there).

I accepted an offer a few weeks later.
