Pros

The first year I worked at Unity was amazing, everything was going so well. Then the first layoffs made us re-org and we lost a key member of our team and it was all downhill from there. Free lunches Good coworkers Good work life balance Relaxed atmosphere - I've heard this depends on the team though but mine was very relaxed Starting pay was good for the time

Cons

I'll preface this by saying I was laid off via an email. My manager didn't even talk to me at all, which is an unbelievably cowardly thing to do. Almost every other coworker I had, even some I barely worked with, reached out and wished their best at least. But management at every level is terrible, nobody above me there cared about anything. They're just there to get paid and they don't care about anything else, even the company. I warned management about so many things that were going wrong and they never bothered to fix it, leaving to MANY member's quitting for those exact reasons. Basically 0 raises for the last 2 years - other companies have vastly surpassed them in salary Stock price is an absolute roller coaster C-level executives are the worst out there - vastly overpaid and vastly under performing without taking any responsibility Management at every level is atrocious - every single person I've ever talked to who has quit has blamed their terrible manager as their reason Internal technologies are a mess, every team uses different things My team reorged 5 times in the 2 years I was there, it became a meme that we'd re-org every quarter There is no career progression, they prevented many people from getting promotions for 0 reason other than the company being cheap My career progression was halted because of so many reorgs and layoffs
