Process

  1. The initial Zoom call with the recruiter (Andy) was fantastic. I had a great discussion talking about myself, my current work, and more about Unity. This part of the interview was overall very pleasant.

  2. The second interview was with a manager. We delved deep into the details of projects I've worked on and my current role. Again, it was a very relaxed conversation and helped me become really interested in the role on offer. It was an absolute pleasure to discuss the role and life at Unity.

  3. Technical interview #1 was a systems design interview. It was quite difficult, but the team at Unity made me feel less under pressure. It felt more like an open-ended discussion that drilled down into some details at various stages. I recommend brushing up on distributed systems and how you would solve problems around concurrency and latency, as these were areas that mattered.

I am currently between interviews and awaiting feedback, but I decided to write this review now as I'm not entirely sure of how well the technical interview went. There are apparently two more steps to the process, including a coding test (using Codility or something similar) and a behavioral interview.

I would expect that the coding test will be fairly straightforward if you've practiced data structures and algorithms.

Every step of the interview process, I was in contact with a fantastic recruiter who kept me in the loop and ensured I was aware of what was to come.

It really sounds like an amazing place to work, with a great UK salary and some fantastic benefits. If their current roles are interesting to you, then I definitely recommend applying!

Good luck!
