Process

Best interview process I've ever experienced. Jenna, my recruiter, was so nice and extremely fast at getting back to me with the results, always within a few hours or the next day. Here was the general timeline:

  1. Recruiter phone call: Behavioral questions, why I want to work at Unity (I think most of the interview was spent talking about this because, who wouldn't want to work at Unity?), and discussion of my projects.

  2. Coding challenge: Right after the call, Jenna e-mailed me a coding challenge that I had a week to complete. It wasn't timed, which was so nice and took a lot of the stress off (as opposed to coding challenges from other companies where you have an hour to complete coding exercises). It took a few hours and was overall very fun to solve and not too difficult.

  3. Technical screen: I heard back the same day that I made it to the next round, a 1-hour technical screen with a member of the team I was interviewing for. The first part consisted of questions about my resume; the next part was a coding question that was fun and pretty low-pressure. I talked through my thought process, and the interviewer helped me when I was stuck and reassured me that he cared far more about my thought process than my solution. It was an amazing interviewer and interview.

  4. Final rounds: I heard back a few hours later that I had made it to the last round, which consisted of four 45-minute video interviews (not on-site because I was out of the country). Each interview was with a different member of the team. The first two were algorithms-type interviews, one was OOD, and one was JavaScript. The algorithms and OOD interviews weren't too difficult. The JavaScript interview was pretty in-depth and very difficult for me. Unfortunately, I had no clue how to answer a lot of the conceptual questions I was asked, but my interviewer was so nice about it and even pointed out some great resources to use to gain in-depth JavaScript knowledge. The entire team was so nice and helpful, and they really made the interview as pain-free as possible.

Without a doubt, this was the best interview experience I've had. Amazing recruiter, amazing team, and amazing interviewers. My recruiter even set it up so that I could visit the Unity office in the country I'm currently in, even though I'll be working in the SF office. I am extremely impressed by the team and the spirit, values, and culture held by the Unity team. I'm so excited to work there this summer!
