Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Montreal, Quebec
Process
The process consisted of six 1-hour Zoom interviews, all on different days.
Scheduling the next round after each interview was tricky, accommodating everyone's schedules, time zones, vacations, and so on. This caused the entire process to stretch over months.
After my last interview, I was told that I would be a better fit for another team and asked to go through the entire process again.
Frustrated but determined, I agreed.
After some time, I had not heard anything back from this new team. I reached out to the first hiring manager and some inside contacts, all multiple times: nothing! I was ghosted!
After months of interviewing, I find this uncalled for and disrespectful.

Unity Work Experiences
- 2.0Worst period in company historyEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeMontreal, Quebec, CanadaNovember 10, 2024Pros: Good benefits and nice cultureCons: The company has been laying people off for the last year. Reorgs are happening every 6 months, and the product team has a lot of gaps.
- 4.0Lovely people, but uncertain futureEngineering Manager • Current EmployeeOctober 26, 2025Pros: Almost without exception, the people I worked with here have been lovely. The company used to, and still does to an extent, have empathy as an emphasis for how work is done. For the parts of the company I have worked in, you can tell. People treat each other with respect and kindness.Cons: There has been a steady stream of layoffs for several years, and it is quite demoralizing always wondering if you will be in the next one. The reductions in force mean that from an engineering side there are a lot of things that need maintaining without a lot of people to do that work. It seems every team is under-resourced.
- 3.0Not what it used to be…Engineering Manager • Current EmployeeBrighton, England, United KingdomJanuary 9, 2025Pros: Unity engine is very impactful and rewarding work. It offers a flexible work/life balance and great people.Cons: Company first. Rough couple of years with cost cutting, redundancies, and constant reorganizations and leadership changes.
