Software Engineer Interview Experience - South Korea
Process
Three days after submitting my resume, I received an e-mail to arrange a phone screen schedule.
The first phone screen, for personality, took place one week later. It was mainly to check the reason why I wanted to change my domain from non-game to game.
The second phone screen, for technology, took place one more week later, which I did not pass.
I received an e-mail including the evaluation and the reason for rejection within two business days.

Riot Games Work Experiences
- 4.0Nice People, But Laid OffSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSanta Monica, California, United StatesJune 24, 2025Pros: It was pretty good, nice people.Cons: Got laid off. It wasn't great.
- 1.0It's a Narrative and PIP Factory NowSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesMay 25, 2025Pros: You can still work fully remote.Cons: PIP abused. The manager uses "alignment" to cheat employees in order to quickly terminate by PIP. If you think merit will get you promoted, this place is not for you. Promotions here are reserved for those who perform loyalty, fabricate optics, and obey authority. If you write code, you're a tool. If you write the script, you're leadership. External branding: freedom, player-first, engineering-led. Internal reality: factions, performance art, political maneuvering. You think you’re building systems — but really, you’re just constructing someone else’s promotion stage. Engineers, Avoid Unless You Want to Learn How to Get Your Credit Stolen. Everyone Says 'Player First' but No One Really Means It. Heaven for Performers, Hell for Engineers.
- 5.0Great Games, Lower PaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLos Angeles, California, United StatesSeptember 17, 2024Pros: You work at Riot Games.Cons: Less pay than FANG or Google.
