Process

THIS IS THE WORST INTERVIEW PROCESS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME!!!

This is the worst interview process I have ever experienced. The process took over 2 months, starting back on May 13 through a recruiter reaching out and scheduling a first phone interview.

The first interview with the recruiter was mainly bragging about Unity and how booming it is. The second interview was with the hiring manager. She was nice and asked a few HR and technical questions over the course of an hour. By the end of the interview, she said that she liked my personality and skill set; however, she was not sure about my experience level and tried to demote me to a non-senior position.

The second interview was scheduled after over 2 weeks with the same hiring manager, in addition to two senior engineers. The interview ran over the 4 hours scheduled time and was mainly technical questions, asking to develop code using a made-up internal language, situational questions, and finally some general technical knowledge questions.

The recruiter called me the following week to ask about my feedback on the interview and asked if I was doing any other interviews. When I said yes, this is where all the issues started! He first said that he spoke with the hiring manager and the feedback was good, but he just wanted to get my feedback first. He promised to get back to me with the team's feedback the following week. That didn't happen. He kept calling me over the course of 3 weeks asking about my other interviews with other companies and if I had received any offers, and never agreed to give me the company's feedback about me.

Finally, he made up a story that they kept me on hold just because they were interviewing a more experienced person. He stated that in the case they were giving me the offer, they still wouldn't give me the senior position and tried to squeeze the salary. Finally, he promised to give me the final decision in a week, but when he reached back, he was so angry that I was still receiving other offers and literally shouted to quit offer shopping!!!

At last, he came back saying that they decided to move forward with the offer but needed my references. Immediately, I did so and reached out to my managers to get their approval to forward their names and numbers. We agreed to meet last Tuesday since he mentioned that he had more concrete numbers, but then again, he didn't show up!!

Final stage, he called me today, apologizing that he didn't show up for our meeting due to a personal emergency and that the company decided to not move forward with the interview just because they couldn't match my other offers, even though I told him that I might agree with lower compensation just to be at Unity!
