I applied online. I interviewed at Unity (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jul 2020
Interview
Talked with a recruiter and was scheduled to talk to the hiring manager next. Thought the meeting went well based on that we talked for 1.5h and the same performance has given me follow-up meetings or offers at other companies, however after 2.5 weeks I got an email that they will proceed with other candidates. The hiring manager seemed to want people with exactly the same game industry background as himself. I've been a Unity developer for many years but fine, Unity has a lot of engineering roles open that fits my experience and the email stated that I'm free to apply for another position, However, after emailing back to the recruiter to ask he about other roles he didn't even bother to reply to me, like I was yesterdays garbage now. The same recruiter seem to be the screen for all their positions in the region, yet has only been at the company for 6 months (before that a few months here and there). Its terrible that they put so much trust in someone like this. Very disappointed with the overall experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round interview so more general talk about the role.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Unity (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2021
Interview
The process was about as close to perfect as possible. I was contacted about a role that I was a good fit for. The interview process was immediately started with a call about the role and why I was a desirable fit. Since I was very interested in seeing where this went, 5 additional interviews were set up, 1 hour each.
They went very smoothly. The interviewers were very knowledgable about their area of expertise, along with being really knowledgable about Unity Technologies in general. All my questions were easily answered.
Three of the interviews were more technical, posing a coding or architectural problem that I needed to solve. Finding the "perfect" or "best" answer to these types of questions is not normally what they are expecting, so much as seeing a logical and smart line of reasoning for how you would rationalize a solution - and explaining why you made those choices. And that was definitely what was happening here. I really appreciate that kind of approach to technical interviews.
I also like the interviews where they don't ask abstract or bizarre questions like, "If you could be any kitchen appliance, what would you be?". All of the questions here were pertinent and useful questions.
Also, the interviewers were very personable, and we ended up having fun and relaxed chats about various things once talking shop was done.
All in all, the experience could not have been better. The whole interview process took a little over a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General Questions about how I would be a good culture fit, along with discussion about my technical experiences.
I had a recruiter screening, followed by a coding challenge and two interviews. The recruiter was really kind and helpful, and responded to all of my questions promptly, and the interviewers were very knowledgeable yet really friendly. They asked me about my skills and experience so far but also checked to see what my expectations were from the internship, which is something I haven't experienced in any other interview till date, another reason why I was really keen on joining the company.
