I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Unity (Brighton, Inglaterra) in Aug 2020
Interview
So overall it wasn't a very pleasant experience. I am really disappointed by the lack of information provided by the recruiter, lack of promised feedback and I guess lack of offer in the end or reasoning why after the last interview they decided not to proceed with the process. It makes me wonder what chaos is inside the company if the interview process is so messy.
There are 3 main stages:
- Interview with a recruiter
- Interview with a Sales Manager
- Interview with the Sales Director (the hardest one)
The recruiter interview was all over the place, there was no structure to it, he wasn't very human I could see him typing away and asking automatic questions. The steps of the process were not explained and I did not have a good feeling about this one.
The second part was also full of set questions and it didn't feel natural when the manager kept typing away.
The 3rd part was the toughest, the Sales Director was 10 mins late, he didn't know the script I prepared for the interview, a courier came to deliver him a package halfway through which threw me off a bit and he seemed generally not to be interested. I knew this wasn't gonna happen after the call but was still hoping for some promised feedback. It's been a month and still nothing.

Not the best Interview process. Recruiters do not keep candidates up to date with their progress and this is very poor communication.
It is quite disappointing considering that Unity is seen as an amazing company to work for.
It would be nice for recruiters to reciprocate (in a timely manner) the time and effort candidates put into their recruitment stages and process. Please in the future, keep candidates up to date and let them know where they are in the recruitment process, as other opportunities blossom elsewhere. I have seen this at other technology companies and it really sways people away, as the recruitment process starts to become more hassle for the candidate than they want or need. It should be a smooth process, with weekly updates on where they stand in the process. Improvements to the recruitment process are needed. I hope this part of the process is remedied ASAP.

Interview
I was reached out by their recruiter from SF. They asked me about my expectation in the beginning and they made sure that they can meet that before starting the process. I was given the LinkedIn profile of each interviewer beforehand to prepare myself and understand their background.
I had a total of 5 interviews with them:
1 - 30 mins call with Director of Products - Mostly about the JD, my experience & the value that I could bring.
2 - 1 Hour Tech screening - The first half was more theoretical, going deep into the technology domain, asking questions about the inner working of components, etc. The second half was a problem to code (it wasn't that hard if you remember the APIs). I didn't know the exact API calls but I was able to write a close version with explained the usage that made it clear to the interviewer.
3 - 1 Hour call with Hiring Manager - More product management questions and how I behave in a product-focused company, how I deal with problems in requirements, how I divide a complex problem, etc.
4 - 1 Hour call with Team Lead - General questions regarding my skills, information about the team I am joining. It was more of an open discussion where I got to understand the reality of the team I am joining.
5 - 1 Hour call with VP of Engineering - Behavioural questions revolving around how I handle conflicts, how I deal with problems. It was a very detailed Q&A with a counter-question attached to my every answer. Although I enjoyed it,
Cons:
1 - A lengthy interview cycle, I believed it could be cut short. I felt some of the questions were carried out from previous interviewers.
