Process
The process was fairly long, which gave me the opportunity to talk with many of my future colleagues and really get to know what would be expected of me.
The whole process was composed of:
- 3 phone interviews
- 1 four-hour on-site interview
About half of the process was very technical and included live coding. The other half was more traditional, focusing on social skills and "getting to know you."

Pros: Great salary, free food, *very* flexible work schedule, possibility of working from home a part of the week, great challenges, highly competent co-workers, and an emphasis on code quality.
Cons: Distance from home, which is going to increase with the upcoming move. (Mitigated by working from home a part of the week.)

Great Autonomy, Understaffed Teams

Pros: Unity has a strong market position yet heavily invests in R&D.
Employees are expected to shape vision and set priorities.
Benefits are good, with flexible work hours and work-from-home options available.
The company culture is healthy, focusing on communication, transparency, and business goals.
Personally, I like the global scale of the company and the opportunities to travel from time to time.
Cons: - Flipside of autonomy: People are inclined to add new features and work around existing issues rather than renovating core workflows (getting better recently though, with a lot of new hires).
- Tools and infrastructures teams are under-staffed for the amount of developers.
- Lack of HR support for the Montreal office.
