Messy, disorganized, and ambiguous

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company, so you would think it’s stable. Compensation is fair for the work done, but most of it is stocks. Work life balance is also generous as well depending on which teams you work for and where they’re located. In general all my colleagues have been very motivated and engaged and generally want the best for the product and the company.

Cons

Layoffs after layoffs in the last six months I’ve been here. Inconsistent as well, some layoffs have rehoming which means they were well thought out, but some didn’t. Inefficient decisions: I know of at least one position removed due to redundancy and then rehired. Internally there’s no real processes so efficiency was low.

Best company I've ever worked for

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Amazing salary & benefits package - At least for my team, the most friendly, competent, and functional group of people I've ever worked with - Excellent company all-around with great products that are a blast to work on - Led by very competent leaders in seemingly all areas; John Riccitiello is an amazing CEO that is very engaged with people & approachable (he likes every-day employees to come to him to talk and ask question/suggest changes)

Cons

- Kept buying or merging with companies when we don't have infinite funds (Unity has not been profitable yet, but we are close), which seems to have led to mass layoffs when the economy stumbled right after these acquisitions - just feels like a lack of foresight - Eliminated or shelved a serious number of incredibly important projects after these acquisitions, ostensibly because there was not enough money to fund these projects - Extremely woke. The company often pushes intersectional identity politics onto employees. Certain people with certain identities are allowed to be outright racist to others in chat on the basis of "victimhood", where they are essentially given a pass for toxic behavior - The company seems to be putting a lot of resources towards these ideological initiatives at a time when we are suffering in the current economic climate
