Interview
Coming from another VR/AR company with lots of relevant experience and education for the position. I can say I'm extremely disappointed at the lack of professionalism by Magic Leap's senior executive recruiter regarding the recruiting/hiring process.
At the VR startup company I work in, we use the exact same Greenhouse tools to evaluate new applicants and respond to them with in 2 weeks if my company plans to move on or make an offer. My team uses Greenhouse tools evaluate candidates, and the HR/recruiter/talent director person will often remind my team to submit their evaluation, so we can keep the process moving.
I applied for an engineering position at Magic Leap only to be left in limbo as to the status of my application for months once I gave the final interview. After going through two phone screenings, and an entire day in person interview meeting 6 people (with 2 video conf calls to Plantation, FL) . The entire process took about 3-4 weeks, but 3 months after emailing the recruiter and HR departments they couldn’t tell me if they have moved on or are still uncertain about the position. My experience with Magic Leap hiring process was frustrating and very unprofessional.
Several emails were sent, but no updates whether is was a thumbs up or down for the position. The company will leave you in limbo forever. They don’t have the courtesy or professionalism.
The reason I applied is because I felt they have an ambitious project with their headset and virtual human Mica. Something I was eager to be a part of and contribute to bring that vision into reality. My best advice would be to apply to other companies like Oculus/Facebook and Microsoft which are better funded long term.

Interview
It was the first time I saw an opening position for my role at Magic Leap. I applied and the recruiter got in touch very quickly. The recruiter did an amazing job scheduling the interview, checking in after the interviews and keeping me up to date throughout the process. The process started with meeting with the hiring manager which was quite positive. Then technical interviews with engineers from the team. They were nice and honest, when being asked about the stability of the company. Unfortunately I wasn't selected. The interview questions were reasonable, no tricky questions expected. Magic Leap works on headsets, which is quite niche so they're likely looking for someone with closely relevant experience. Overall, it was positive. I was hoping more positions would be opened in the future.

It was over Goggle Hangouts. It was very simple and easy-going. The interviewer made me feel comfortable and the conversation flowed nicely. I didn't feel too nervous or awkward at all.
