I had a phone call with a recruiter after an online application, and it was really nice talking to her.

On the call, she asked if I was interested in any other positions at Unity. There was a similar position, Data Engineer, at the Bellevue office that I was interested in, and I told her about it.

I was told she would get back to me with more details, but in the follow-up emails I sent, I never received a response regarding this.

Then came a very strange take-home coding exercise involving bit manipulation and multithreading. I verified with the recruiter, my only point of contact, whether I could use Python for the task, which she agreed to (likely due to Python's limitations with multithreading).

I was very interested in working at Unity and spent time on the test. I made a few changes to the specified algorithm and justified my reasons.

A week or two after my submission, I didn't get any response and followed up. I received a robotic rejection email for the role, which did not include any reason for my rejection. I had hoped to get some feedback on what I could have improved.

After following up with the recruiter for about a month, I have given up on receiving a response regarding feedback.

I believe Unity should respect people's time when it issues these tests. If it does, it should at least have the decency to respond to questions about feedback. I am very disappointed with what happened.

This was a very random coding take-home test involving bit manipulation and multithreading. I was told it was purposely made confusing.
