Pros

Great benefits, game development focused teams tend to attract people at the top of the industry, good work life balance.

Cons

Executive management has steered this company in a terrible direction by spending a lot of money on acquisitions that they did not know how to utilize while abandoning their core business model. It's a shame so many talented developers had to suffer as a result. Some managers are terrible at leading, instead carrying their abusive practices from previous companies in the AAA gaming space. Aforementioned talented people have left to be where they're actually appreciated, that is if they weren't laid off. Things might improve now that a particular CEO is out of the picture

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
