      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Dec 6, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Riot Games (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      The interview process begins with a screening by the Riot Games recruiter, and then a series of 2 interviews, one personality screening with the team's producer and a second technical interview with a programmer on the team. The technical interview is preceded by a programming test which was a fairly simple task, and in the technical interview we discussed various topics relevant to Riot Games products at a high level. After the initial test and set of 2 interviews, I was invited to an additional panel of 5 interviews, with a subsequent programming assignment of higher complexity. In this second set of panel interviews, there were 2 technical interviews which were very friendly, low-stress and positive. There were also 3 personality-focused interviews, with the interviewer reading from a series of pre-prepared questions and then having me answer them.
