Riot Games Philippines Graduate Programs & Internships

Initial Interview Stages 

We’ve opted to switch phone interviews to Google Hangouts. (This is also how we conduct meetings in our day-to-day at Riot!)

This first call is usually with a recruiter and could be by phone or Hangouts—they'll let you know the details. In that call, we'll cover basic information about your experience, interests, job qualifications, and the role.

Once you pass the first round, there are generally two more Google Hangout interviews. Some topics you can expect in these early calls are past work experience, craft knowledge, skills required for the role, and company value alignment.

We know this can be nerve wracking, but relax! You’re getting to know us as much as we’re getting to know you. And who knows, maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of your future teammate’s pet in the process.

Take Home Assessment

Some roles require a test as part of the process (positions like writing, art, game design, and engineering to name a few). Tests are all take-home, and you’ll be given all the information you need to ace them. Most have flexible return dates, so don’t stress out about hard deadlines. And you can always reach out to your recruiter or craft interviewer if you need additional time or resources.

On Calls Instead of On-Sites

We’ve switched all onsite interviews to Google Hangouts. The process remains largely the same as it was before. You’ll still get to meet members of your future team on the same day. Now, just from the comfort of your own home!

And don’t worry, we know you’ll need breaks throughout the day. Feel free to get up and stretch every now and then. Just be sure to give your interviewer a heads-up that you need to stretch your legs. They’ll be more than happy to accommodate (and probably a little grateful for the break, too)!

Dress Code

We have a casual work environment, so there’s no need to virtually show up in a suit and tie. But you’re still meeting your future teammates, so it’s smart to at least look somewhat presentable. As a general rule, just be yourself!

We’re also totally fine if you want to use some camera plug-ins to hide your background. If you want to interview from Hogwarts, at least tell us which House you were sorted into first!

Technical Tips

• Need to test your camera and mic? Let us know, and we can hop on a test call!
• Don’t have a webcam? Let’s chat and find a solution!
• We recommend using a headset and microphone combo, so your interviewer can clearly hear you. While we’re interested in your Spotify playlist, the less audio distractions the better!
• If you’ve got connectivity issues with Google Hangouts, we can provide a backup phone number, so you don’t miss a beat.

Your recruiting team is happy to help assist with all the necessary prep work for an interview, so just let us know what you need, and we’ll do our best to help.
