I got in touch with Riot within the week I applied for the job and got a first screening interview 2 to 3 weeks later. I passed 3 interviews with no offer. The interviews were more focused on my knowledge of the company and its business model rather than my experience or past/current job but that is probably because I am in Finance. Overall, it was a pretty tough process, and I believe I was not prepared enough. They really are picky and want open-minded people who are ready to think out of the box, which I failed to show. They also want people who can effectively solve problems and understand the industry. Nevertheless, I think it was a good experience as the people I've met were really warm and welcoming. Advices for people getting interviewed/applying: do a lot of research on the company beforehand, do not hesitate to take the necessary time to do so because you will not get hired before at least 2 months of recruitment process anyway. Also do not even think about lying, they will usually ask a lot for any fact you raise, which may screw you up eventually if you have nothing much to say about it. Playing League can help a lot in understanding the game's model and the community, but it may not be compulsory.

- Multi-stage interviews in person or by Skype with several screening interviews (say 3-5 separate occasions) then a panel interview over an afternoon lasting between 4-6 hours followed by a further possible screening interview and a final 'sponsor' interview.
