I'm writing about my experience to warn people not to apply for Unity at this time. I interviewed with Unity in September and received an offer from them after 2-3 weeks of interviewing.

The process itself was not too complicated, and I genuinely enjoyed talking to all the engineers and managers during the interview process. This led me to accepting the offer, though I had to postpone my start date to January to prepare for my move to the west coast and other personal matters. I was fine with an earlier start date if needed, but the recruiter assured me that starting after the holidays would be fine. Unfortunately, that was not true.

Just a few days before I was supposed to start, my hiring manager sent me an email stating he needed to urgently talk to me. This was just after I received my welcome email and instructions for onboarding for my first day. He regretfully informed me that my offer was rescinded due to financial reasons and the current economic outlook.

This sudden decision left me unemployed and unable to return to my previous job, as well as having to break my lease and cancel my move. I emailed HR for any help during this time, and they replied that they are not obligated to give me any compensation or help for my loss because my offer was "at will."

While they are legally allowed to rescind my offer, their choice and how they handled the situation shows a lack of responsibility for their actions and compassion for their employees.

Behavioral and system design questions.

One take-home assignment.
