I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Unity (Stratford-upon-Avon, England) in Apr 2020
Interview
Due to the Covid pandemic the whole process was handled remotely using Zoom and organised by email. There were a few stages, from an initial conversation with the recruiter to a competency based interview with the hiring manager and then onto various conversations with the teams and stakeholders I would be working with. These were either 1-2-1 or in small groups and were on the most part informal chats rather than traditional interviews. The organisation of these sessions was great as they use an online calendar for you to book your availability in, making it easy to organise around work commitments or childcare.
Normally the team/stakeholder interviews would be carried out on one day in the office but as this wasn't possible they were scheduled separately over a two week period. This was the only downside to the process that from initial conversation to offer it took three months. However, meeting the people I would be working with and getting to ask lots of questions was invaluable and gave me a proper insight into the organisation and culture.

Question 1
How would I work with teams to understand if there were any improvement opportunities?
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Unity
Interview
The steps in the process were as follows: recruiting manager phone screen, hiring manager interview (2 behavioral questions), 2 interviews (behavioral + overall), then I waited for quite a long time, with a few follow-ups from my side, and got an offer.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Unity
Interview
Unity has a lengthy interview (5+ HR screen) process, so be prepared. I met with a few good interviewers, but there were also red flags with others. I'll say that the ones who had been in the company for over 4+ years made comments that indicated they were not interested in changes/improvements to their existing software delivery process, contrary to what the job req said they were seeking in a successful candidate. I got the impression that HR helped write the requisition in hopes of improving areas of the company that are known weaknesses. The hiring manager was a Director (newly minted) and was arrogant and hierarchical in describing how the role would function during the final interview. He was incoming to the XR org and had little knowledge of the team's challenges. The final interview instinctively felt like he was talking through the hour, fishing for ideas from my previous experience to implement as his own. I was relieved when the interview ended and did not follow up with the Recruiter. The XR Team is not the place for mid-senior level TPgM who want to evolve, grow their skill sets, make an impact, etc. My observation is that the role function is more of a scrum master. This is an ideal place for those who are looking to coast.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Unity (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2022
Interview
The recruitment team is second to none: Diligent, organized and streamlined. Screening - Hiring Manager - Loop(4 rounds)- Hiring Manager - Offer. All the interviewers were super warm and insightful.
