Pros

- Sometimes the best place to work - Unity very respected in games industry - Some interesting products solving problems for game developers - Company is conscious of social issues - Total compensation pretty good - Average talent level very high - Opportunity to make huge revenue impact for company - Every year huge business growth - Very diverse, lots of interesting colleagues - Yearly hack weeks are very fun

Cons

- Sometimes the worst place to work - Overworked dev teams low morale - Always adding more layers of management solves no problems - Increasing US corporate culture - Management and product team mostly poor, add no value, priorities and projects changing frequently, arbitrary deadlines, always compromising quality - Too many meetings waste time, meetings outside work hours - No agency over work, someone else decides what you do - No time for tech debt or improving practices, codebase old and badly maintained - No time for career development and learning - Adtech is not interesting - Company wasting resources on vanity projects, not focused - Employee stocks process terribly managed outside US, company mistakes caused sudden large taxes deducted from payslips - Company losing touch with grassroots responsible for success

Pros

Very little positive to say. Nice in office lunches. Peers are certainly passionate, but seem to work 10+ hour days and take pride in being on early and up late every day.

Cons

Onboarding was a disjointed mess, with sessions led solely by my manager. Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training. Severe lack of coherent materials to reference. Unclear strategy, talk tracks, playbooks. Frequent role churn which was not made transparent during the interview process. Team operates so far outside of the core Unity product. Frequent reorgs and restructuring. No real idea how my role impacted the larger business. Unity’s adtech products are ultimately very uninteresting. Can’t speak to sentiment about working with their core product, but if you have to sell iAds, Tapjoy, Offerwall, or Aura (their most mind numbing product) - don’t waste your time.
