The first interview was great for the overall understanding about the position, then the practical task was challenging yet possible to solve, followed by meeting the team and weighting my fit into the organisation. I was accepted on a waiting list. During my waiting period, Unity kept in touch with me, asked about my education status - as I was on a gap year. When the position was open again, Unity invited me on an follow up interview, the Recruitment agent was very professional, informed me about all the aspects of the current situation. Next, the team lead asked some important questions to test my technical knowledge. Then the recruiters and the HR team answered all the questions I had in a timely manner.

Applied online. First, a take-home technical task: fixing bugs, implementing features, animations, UI, Timeline sequences in Unity - took 5-7 hours of work. Then a nearly 2-hour video interview with 3 QA Leads. Questions ranged from technical (bug reproduction methodology) to behavioral (why Unity, Unity vs Unreal differences, what does good communication mean to you, etc.). After the interview, was told "we'll get back to you within 2 weeks, usually faster." 12 days of complete silence. Had to send multiple follow-up emails to both recruiters. Finally got a phone call saying "team liked you but position is already filled" - despite the position being open throughout the entire process. No explanation, no feedback, no proactive communication at any point. For a "Junior Student" position, the process felt like a senior-level hiring bar with zero respect for the candidate's time.
