      Data Engineer Interview

      Aug 31, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Santa Monica, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Riot Games (Santa Monica, CA)

      Interview

      The entire process took about a year and a half (yikes!) with MANY phone screens, some online tests, and culminating with a day long onsite interview. Overall they said they really liked me, the team liked me, they thought my skills were strong and wanted to hire me, but... they thought I was lacking Java programming ability. I'm not a Java programmer and the only time Java was mentioned was by one person during the onsite interview (and he had me do some whiteboard coding problems... I was like "I don't know Java, can I do this in C++ or something?"). The hiring management apologized for the mixup, but it was a bit odd to go through literally a year of interviewing only to be cut out at the last minute because of a previously unmentioned skill requirement. I really, really liked the company and the people though, and still use things I learned during the interview process. I think they are suffering through some growing pains though.

      I'm sorry to hear about the length of the process, and the ambiguity around Java. It does sound like you've got a lot of experience with our team, so I'd love to hear more of your thoughts if you have the time! I'd be happy to chat via email at sgrobe@riotgames.com
