Pros

Huge presence in the gaming industry. There's plenty of exciting projects to work on. Nice office in downtown office. Eclectic mix of co-workers.

Cons

Working under inexperienced manager who lacks knowledge of the system can make your life a living hell! Work life balance is rare.

Thank you for your review. Glad that you are able to work on plenty of exciting projects here. Sorry to hear about your experience with your manager. We want to ensure all of our employees are heard, empowered and valued, and we are constantly enriching the employee experience by providing employees with the tools and training needed to grow within the company. And our culture values that all of our employees should have work life balance. We believe that while there are times in all organizations where we have to work extra hard to meet deadlines or support a customer in need, it should be the exception not the rule.

Pros

- A really cool product with lot's of potential. -There are some nice people at Unity. -Used to be a really great place to work.

Cons

- Toxic management from the middle managers all the way to the top, Some people at Unity really love to play the game and aim to blame other's for their own failures or the failures of the company itself due to repeated layoffs. -Office politics is rampant within Unity. Expect favoritism if you would like to be promoted / treated fairly. Work life balance used to be a thing at Unity. -A large portion of your compensation is stock, which is unfortunate because leadership makes bad decision after bad decision, rendering your stock worthless. You are expected to only receive about a 1-3% raise each year. -Departments are completely siloed, decisions that affect other teams are executed without any kind of communication. You will constantly be sprung with large issues that have tight deadlines because of this. -Layoff after layoff after layoff, in my time within Unity, I have experienced a layoff every 3-6 months. Great people are let go, great products are terminated and executives are handsomely rewarded for their failures. This has caused Unity to be filled with a lot of jaded workers. -Unity merged with IronSource, an Israeli based company. When the Israeli - Palestinian war began, many employees began to target each other in public Slack channels with discriminatory remarks, there were no serious repercussions due to this. This created further mistrust in the company to keep their employees safe.

Pros

Great and very talented individuals work here, with people from all types of industries and backgrounds. Decent health insurance.

Cons

Upper management are incredibly tone deaf and ignorant, and refuse to listen to any feedback that they don’t want to hear, despite their profession that the “best ideas win”. The company is plagued by constant layoffs and reorgs, and the CEO is a narcissist who plays it off like the company is making sound business decisions. They’ve slashed benefits multiple times in the last year, and have also denied severance and parental leave payouts to former employees. Not to mention they’ve pushed back the compensation cycle for all employees by 4 months. Upward momentum is non-existent, and management teams are defined by cronyism rather than merit. All in all it’s become a dumpster fire lately, and it’s clear that the executives are either incredibly out of touch, heartless, or both.
