I applied online. I interviewed at Unity (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2017
Interview
The initial interview with was a member of HR. Interviewer was very kind and interested in my background and experience. Asked me about my resume and why I wanted to work there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to complete a large project
-- 45 min., phone interview with the director of QA.
-- 1 hour~, "coding exercise" (which is less code and more a process questionnaire).
-- 6 hours, on-site panel session and lunch with a few of the employees.
Most of the questions throughout the interviews involved testing strategy and process through given scenarios. It was difficult (but not overly so), they asked some in-depth questions on my overall approach to testing as well as specifics on how I would design plans and reports to communicate with managers/supervisors.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Unity (Bellevue, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
5 interviews (2 in person, 3 over video conference). Interviews happened in different days due to my own time availability. 2 interviews were in person and 3 over video (one from home, 2 from the office). The ratio of in-person/remote was due to the current small size of the team I was applying for, and not a general pattern of interviews on Bellevue office. All interviews were deep yet conversational. No confrontational attitude, as I've seen in some other companies. It was a good mix of technical questions, posted as open-ended discussions about the systems at Unity and inquiries about my past experience.
I felt that the interviewers got a good understanding of what I'm capable of, without resorting to traditional template-based quizzes or coding questions. Because of that, if felt easier than they actually were. I really enjoyed how the interview was framed - as a free flowing conversation - and I think I had more fun than one would be allowed to have in a interview process :).

Question 1
I was interviewing for a backend/service job. After a quick explanation about what the existing systems currently do at Unity, the interviewer engaged in a conversation about how to improve the system, what I thought the tech behind the components looked like, etc.
Fun and difficult! Best outcome. Thanks so much for interviewing with us and sharing your experience. We are a global company and some teams are more spread out than others so video interviews can be a reality although we prefer in-person meetings. We hope you are now enjoying your work at Unity and being on the other side of the interview.
