Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied and got contacted two weeks later. First, there was a phone call with the recruiter about my background and Riot Games/LoL. Then, two video calls happened with my potential manager and the head of the community team. They kept me updated on the timeline, which was nice as a foreign applicant. Finally, I went to the on-site at Riot Games HQ in LA. It was a full day from 10-6pm in a conference room with back-to-back one-hour meetings with different teams to check my values, thought process, and qualifications. Lunch at NOMS was also part of the interview, and they gave a tour at the end. It was fun! I heard back a week later and didn't get the job. They sent an email with feedback about needing more senior-level experience. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I respect their decision. Everyone I met was invested in my journey and gave great insights.

Behavioral Technical
Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. I got some inside info from a colleague about Riot's culture (Agile, player experience focus). My colleague put in a good word. The Senior Recruiter explained the company and the role via Skype, though the position was pretty open-ended. They asked typical HR questions and probed about my gaming interest. Two weeks later, I spoke with hiring managers. The first one, possibly from marketing, asked about my experience with Creative and Brand teams, which I addressed by discussing my work with Publishing and my portfolio. Two more weeks passed, and I had a second interview via Skype. It was challenging due to vacationing in Spain, a 9-hour time difference, and poor WiFi. This interview focused on my Agile implementation experience. A month after speaking with the hiring managers, I followed up with the Recruiter, only to find the job was on hold due to an internal management change.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case
The recruiting coordinator was great, keeping me updated and making things easy. The process had two hour-long phone interviews, followed by an all-day onsite from 11 am to 6 pm. It was well-organized. The onsite is intense and requires prep on skills, Riot culture, history, and the game. Each interviewer focused on a specific area like Process, Problem Solving, Creative management, or Coaching/Mentoring, which was effective. Interviews were one-on-one, which I preferred over panels. Everyone was professional, asked tough but smart questions, and gave a good sense of my capabilities. Lunch was like another interview, more casual. Culture fit is crucial at Riot, and they really value the Riot Manifesto. I got direct feedback from the hiring manager at the end of the onsite, which was a good closing. The final step was a phone call with the CEO or President, after which I was told I'd get an offer. Everything happened as expected and on schedule.
