I applied online. I interviewed at Unity (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Met with team lead in the office for the first meeting, which was a little unusual. He was a no-nonsense guy who really cut to the heart of why I was applying with them and my background. After that, I was invited back to meet his team for a day. 4 1-hour interviews, half tech, half behavioral(ish). Then finally invited back a third time to meet the director and the lead engineer, in what was another difficult but interesting discussion of the unit I would be joining.

Interview
Recruiter reached out within a day of applying and scheduled a 30 min phone screening. After the phone screening, a phone interview with their hiring manager was scheduled. Questions were fairly simple with most of it focused on background.
After the phone interview an onsite was scheduled. The onsite focused on topics relating to their tech stack and my background. Overall your typical DS/A questions with a few system design questions. There were questions also focused on the ins/outs of each language.
Ultimately, their questions were fair and gave good signal into their candidates for what they were looking for. Which is solid CS background and ability to build a system from the ground up.
Thank you so much for your review and for participating in our interview process! We appreciate that it was challenging and sorry that you weren't able to join Unity at this time. Please stay in contact with us for future opportunities as they arise.

The interview process was world class. I always knew what the next step was and who I'd be meeting or speaking with. I was also in constant communication with the recruiters via phone and email.
I was initially contacted by a recruiter and we set up the first telephone chat. That led to a phone screen by the hiring manager. The next steps were two onsite interviews and one video chat. I was completely impressed by the professionalism in how everything was handled. Very smooth process. Great first impression of the company.
