I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Unity in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied online, heard from recruiter almost immediately and set up phone screener. Easy 30 minute convo then moved on to interview with local manager. That interview was rescheduled once, and when it finally happened it went on for about 45 minutes and was again rather easy. I was told in that interview that I would be set up for another interview with another manager then have a final panel interview.
The next manager interview was set, but was rescheduled not once but twice. After the second time the recruiter apologized and said this was abnormal and would reach out as soon as she had a date for that interview to be rescheduled for. Then I heard nothing. Absolute radio silence. I reached out to the recruiter and the manager I talked with and the recruiter straight up never got back to me. I finally heard from the manager that the position was no longer available.
I was genuinely excited to work for Unity, but the process left a bad taste in my mouth. It was unprofessional to have two interviews rescheduled three times then never hear back from the recruiter about moving forward when I was promised an interview.
Two words: HUNGER GAMES!
The process culminated with a 4th round panel presentation to 4 employees (3 Mgrs and 1 HR), but they schedule you with 5 (!!!) other candidates ON THE SAME ZOOM CALL. As if that wasn't bad enough, they then "highly encouraged" (i.e. required) the candidates to interrogate each other with questions on top of having to filed all the interviewer's questions as well. In my opinion if you have already drug someone through 3 previous interviews AND had them make a 10 min presentation, the least you could do is respect people's time and grant them individual calls. "Respect" is one of their 3 core values, but apparently they used a global pandemic and a desperate job market to throw that out the window. Instead they chose to save time and throw their top candidates in a ring and watch them fight for a bone. The optics are just horrible!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Several times throughout the initial interviews they ask "Why do you want to work for Unity?"
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback. It will be passed onto the Hiring Manager. This was an atypical interview process we trialled for this role, given the demand and increase in remote interviews. We realise this type of process does not work for everyone and we will work with both our Recruiters to ensure candidates are fully prepped ahead of each stage.
The Unity Team
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Unity (Austin, TX) in May 2020
Interview
The interview process was really great. The unity team did a wonderful job and was completely transparent through the whole process. They communicated well and were very efficient.
The whole process consisted of 4 steps/rounds. First was a virtual group hiring event. Then an a more in depth interview with the HR team. Followed by back to back 1 on 1 interviews with the hiring manager and a sales/business development team member. Finally was a pitch meeting to 4 members of the unity team.
Sophie and Daisy in HR did a wonderful job of organizing and staying on top of everything through the process. They kept me in the loop on what was happening as well as next steps. Couldn't have asked for a better process.
