If you don't interview at Unity Technologies, you should. Even if it's just for the mere fact of interviewing. These guys are great at the process. The people do know their stuff and know how to interview. Or better yet, the people that interviewed me. Love the process and the welcoming feeling. Started with the usual recruiter call, and then recruiter set up a call with the hiring manager. Myself and the hiring manager talked about my experience and he kinda asked me a system design question which was related to the problem they were trying to solve. Passed that and I was given a take home assignment which I had done in 6 hours. Once that was completed, we scheduled an onsite where I met again with the hiring manager, another software engineer and had 2 behavioral interviews with 2 other people. Everything went well except 1 of the technical (Which was basically easy. I just messed it up honestly and I'm still in the process of figuring out why and how). This is basically my first technical where I would be writing code. I usually haven't written code in any interview beforehand. However, I was grateful for the experience. This is Canada and for a remote role, but the 2 technical interviews were handled by 2 guys in the states and the behavioral was 2 guys in Canada. I didn't get the offer due to the technical and I kinda knew before hand of putting this post up. Lesson Learned: Keep smiling and doing interviews, my enthusiasm is still infectious. Ask good questions at the end, like I've always done. Most importantly, practice more on my leetcode. I still have a long way to go.

Remote?
Yup
Canada?
Is this a publicity stunt?
Nope
Can you share your experience?
Unity interviews vary wildly by team/location. Also the TC kinda sucks lol
WLB is definitely fantastic and I'm really looking forward to hack week resuming. If your TC is that good then you got upleveled several times vs FAANG, new hire levels seem to be constantly increasing because the TC bands can't compete with the market otherwise
Updated with experience
DM me for referral if you would like to try again later.
Will do. Thanks
Can you share the tech stack? Unity is a game engine so what are they hiring for?
C++ moving towards C# for game engine work. There are also multiple orgs that have nothing to do with the game engine, with numerous different stacks depending on org. React and Golang are the most prevalent right now for those orgs as far as I know, but there's plenty of obscure stacks that are local to one team or another.
