These questions are for the software engineer interns. I don’t think we’re supposed to post them here, but what the hell. More visibility, more likely you folks will ask in a few days,
- Could I get an introduction from you for some context? Name, year in school and major, office location, etc.
- What software development methodologies does Riot adhere to (Agile, waterfall, etc)? Were you working on a team or were you largely quarantined from this process?
- Did any of your code get pushed to a live environment or were your projects handled separately from the main source code? Either way, would you care to elaborate on any of them?
- Is there anything Riot could improve upon with their internship program? Is there anything you wish you’d been able to do more of? More importantly, is Riot asking you these same questions as your summer internship draws to a close?
- Could you walk me through a typical work day for you? How much time is spent in meetings, coding, free time, etc.
- Some workplace logistics, brutal honesty appreciated if that is allowed/safe for you to do so. Of all these questions I think these few are the most important:
-What is the office environment like, such as dress code, attitude towards time off, and respect of work-life balance?
-What were you being paid as an intern, and how much do the entry-level full-time employees make?
-What are they making after a year of employment?
-How much of an influence do corporate decisions have at the office scale (is it laid back or is it a more professional setting)?
-How is the gender ratio at your location specifically?
-Could you realistically go up to your boss (or your boss’s boss’s boss!) to have any concerns addressed, or is there a hierarchy of communication flow?
Thank you very much for your time.
