Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

A recruiter contacted me on a weekend, which is fine for me personally. However, I think this shows that work/life balance can be tough for some people at Riot, a point many have already commented on.

Overall, I had two recruiter calls, one manager call, and one technical interview. What really annoyed me was that after the interview, they waited a full three weeks before giving any feedback after my last interview. This was even though I had told them I had another company bringing me onsite and that they eventually gave me an offer.

I get the impression that Riot engineers have the Apple/Google stigma, thinking they are the best engineers in the world and, because of that, they get to treat everyone else poorly. I would warn anyone interviewing at Riot to be completely aware that the silicon snob effect is alive and well at Riot.
