      Risk Data Analyst Interview

      Aug 22, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Going through the 400+ interviews and seeing a majority as negative feedback was a red flag, but regardless I applied for a position. Few days later got an email from a very nice recruiter who helped me through the process. Was told it would be a Google Meet video interview. Interviewer calls me on the phone, and I asked if we were no longer doing a video interview. He sounded incredibly upset and says "Ok fine" and we proceed from video interview. He is sitting 20 feet from camera, visibly upset slouched in his chair, and he really didn't look like he wanted to be doing this. Head in his hands about half the time, saw him pull out his phone a few times under the desk and looked at me directly maybe two times and asked some technical questions. Kept shuffling papers and playing with a pen, making it incredibly hard to hear him when he was asking questions. Had to ask him to repeat, and I could visibly see him make a face as if I said something rude to him. Pulled up typical hiring questions from a file and asked them as monotonically as possible. I provided what I believed were adequate responses to his questions, for him to only respond with "Ok" and "Got it" like 20 seconds after I was done talking., almost as if he hadn't heard me finish. Asked him regarding career paths and didn't really seem know how to answer that. Went off on a tangent explaining that if I wanted to become a engineer and help develop the game I could. This was a finance position in risk analytics that has absolutely nothing to do with game development. Interview seemed genuinely doomed from the beginning all because I asked if we were no longer doing a video interview, and this interviewer honestly looked like he had no interest in anything I had to say from the first word I said. Mentioned that about 300 something people had been rejected for the position, saying "Either being an Indian or Chinese guy who were very smart and needed a Visa, or gamers who didn't have the experience to be in the position". The recruiter whom I had my first contact with was very polite and courteous however, but that's where it ended. Overall a very negative experience for a company I was looking to take a step back career wise in order to be doing something in a industry I am passionate about. Don't see myself ever supporting them again or applying.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games in Sep 2017

      Interview

      Someone at Riot reached out to schedule a phone interview. After setting it up I waited a week until I got the call. The email and confirmation stated it would be over Skype, but the interviewer called my cell phone. I saw on here that someone else encountered this, and when he brought it up was met with hostility. The interview was fairly simple, talked about the game, why this position, what my expectations were, other basic stuff.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How well do you know SQL? What is your favorite champion in LoL? What other games are you playing?

      Risk Data Analyst Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      I submitted my resume online and got an email from a recruiter after a week or two. She quickly set up a phone interview with one of the other analysts. The first 30 minutes of the call with the analyst was spent talking about video games. Apparently, if you don't play League of Legends, you shouldn't apply. (Hopefully the suppository company I am interviewing with next week doesn't have the same point of view.) They hint at this in the job description but I didn't think that would be that big of a factor. Otherwise, I was plenty qualified.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you play LoL? What is your favorite video game? What video games are you playing right now? How would you know what features need improvement in a video game? What is Riot's mantra?

      Thanks for this review! We do try to call out in Job Descriptions when experience as a gamer is necessary for success on the job - but it sounds like it wasn't made clear in this case. We could have also done a better job sharing context on why being a gamer is so important in many roles here. I'll definitely share these thoughts with the team!
