I know this video is a little out of date but a 12 month interview process for a first job out of Uni likely to lose a few candidates along the way that were scooped up for their talent quickly at Activision, EA or somewhere else that has a quicker turnaround in hiring.
Hey, yeah it is old. At Riot early on we had a deep process to make sure our hires were culture fits, craft fits and ultimately had player focus. Was it fast no, was it inclusive no but it did keep the core of Riot true to our mission - To aspire to be the most player focused games company in the world". I worked for Activision for 7+ years and I loved every minute BUT they did not have player focus as they answered to shareholders so revenue was king and that did not feel good to me so if we lost a few to EA and Activision over that recruitment journey early on I think we were ok with that. Riot now has amended its hiring process post Kotaku and the D&I issues highlighted and its for the better. A diverse workforce, variety of perspectives but still focusing on games at the core. Love the feedback!
@@claudematthieubayemi4276 No I don't hate Activision but I left due to the lack of player focus in the pub org. Studios were amazing like infinity Ward and Treyarch etc.
i guess after the mass layoffs this becomes obsolete. i would be curious who even wants to get into gaming industry after 2 years of shitting on people. f to all the gaming companies like riot
