I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Unity in Aug 2020
Interview
I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the interview process and I had a very positive experience interacting with each and every person- recruiters, hiring manager and lead engineers who interviewed me.
After initial calls with the recruiter, I had a one hour phone call with the hiring manager. Within 3 days, I received a take-home assignment, which I had a lot of fun doing. The programming assignment was focussed on python bigdata microservices and spark . I could say it was a very thought through assignment put together by an experienced engineer, and focused on end-to-end architecture, design and programming. It instilled confidence in me that the team knew exactly what they wanted from this role, and and they knew exactly what they were doing. I was given a week to finish the assignment- I completed it in 4 days and heard back from the recruiter within the next two days!
I was told that the reviewers loved my work. Kudos to my recruiter for being very clear about the process and always giving me very clear ideas as to what to expect in the next round. If she didn't have this information right away, she didn't hesitate to follow up with the team and get back to me very quickly. She said that I will be getting a call about the decision, just one day after my 2nd technical round! The level of clarity and promptness was something I never experienced before with any other company! This was proof that Unity respected and cared about people - be it the ones in the organization or outside.
The following week, I had two more technical rounds. The first one was more focussed on my experience and skills, and I was asked questions around those and the second one was a system design round focussed on ML training and inference pipeline design. The questions were challenging but completely on point and I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion with knowledgable engineers and leads. The very next day, I received a call from the recruiter, and got a verbal offer.

My interview is still in process (I think) since I’ve completely been ghosted by the HR after 3 rounds of interviews even I emailed multiple times that I have pending offers.
1. First round is with the HR to go through your background and job description
2. Second is with the team members mainly your past experiences and some SQL questions
3. Third round is with the hiring manager himself. To go over your experiences again and some behavior questions.
Then I am ghosted... not sure what’s going on.

Unity has a great interview process, I know because I've been through this more than once. Everyone I've interviewed with is intelligent, humble, and kind. They don't ask you trick questions and are genuinely trying to assess if you would be a good fit on the team. The rejection at that time was done kindly and I didn't have any hard feelings. When they reached out for another role, I was excited about the opportunity. The team was cognizant that this was not my first interview experience with Unity and made sure that the process was as smooth and efficient as possible for me.
I haven't started my new role yet, but members of the team have already reached out to me to welcome me. I'm really excited about my offer and to start my career at Unity.
The company is doing well (which is a great sell), but I'm most excited to work with such a great group of people.

Question 1
Questions about your previous experience and how you would address hypothetical situations. Typical PM questions to understand how you work with engineers/stakeholders and how you develop your roadmap.
Nothing too hard, but they do ask thoughtful followup questions so you need to know your stuff.
