I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Riot Games (Waterloo, ON) in Feb 2015
Interview
In person and Skype interviews that were both technical and culture related. The technical interviews were both fun and challenging and every interviewer was very kind and welcoming to me (who was new to the whole process). Culture interview was about past work experienceand League of Legends related questions.

Question 1
Determine the skyline of a set of building points given as a triplet (x1, x2, y1).
Very detailed and focused on craft, skills and quite a lot of case based questions aimed at understanding how my previous experience lines up with Riots values and expected behaviors.

Question 1
Apart from my craft skills, about my value alignment
The first round was an intense behavioral with the Senior Engineering Manager. Next round was a take home assessment, and then a follow up interview to discuss the assessment. The follow up only did about 15 minutes about the assessment, and then it was 40 minutes of technical theory questions.
Interviewer had a Steven Hawking vibe. Lisp, didn't give me much eye contact, asked heavy behavioral questions but didn't give much feedback, just wrote down notes and next question, like a machine. No enthusiasm, guy's been there for over 20 years he's nothing like other Riot employees who's passionate. Barely even played League. Surprising experience I thought riot was vibrant and full of energy.
