I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Unity (Montreal, QC) in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter within two days. The entire process took about 4 weeks and included 5 rounds. It began with an initial screening call, then an interview with the hiring manager. The final stage consisted of three interviews with a software engineer, a product manager and a staff data scientist. The last three interviews could be scheduled either all on the same day or spread out over multiple days.
The recruiter was consistently responsive and proactive. She not only kept me updated on the status of my application but also shared clear instructions and preparation tips for each round. It made the entire process feel smooth and less stressful.
