Totally siloed and operationally dysfunctional

Pros

You will enjoy Unity if you love corporate politics and big egos. If you enjoy useless meetings, you will also like it here, because they are constantly in a state of planning, and never reach the hard part - execution of the plan. If you don't like your team/manager, just wait 6 weeks and you'll probably re-org anyways and start the cycle all over again.

Cons

Self-important and yet totally incompetent middle management. I literally couldn't tell you one thing that my manager produced or stuck with for more than 3 weeks. Technology Org steeped in toxic, clique-y culture. Very little career growth, and it's based on who your manager is (gatekeeping). Totally siloed and operationally dysfunctional. Not interested in any new ideas or hurting anyone's feelings which become major blockers to innovation and progress. Their disjointed product/website strategy reflect what Unity looks like on the inside - teams & systems that don't talk to each other, massive amounts of duplicate work, data all over the place, engineers and egos dictating business decisions, lack of transparency, and the most impressive non-answer answers from leadership I've ever seen.

Pros

Big player in gaming industry. People are generally very friendly.

Cons

Sooner or later, one will realize that working hard at Unity will bring nothing in return. You will get a few "good job" and "you're awesome" from your peers and manager but it will translate to *zilch* in financial reward. Unity is a transitory point for many software engineers. You join and mayyyy be get to work on a cool-sounding project. But, working here for more than a year is a grave and career-ending mistake. Most stick around till their stock vest and move on to more rewarding opportunities. The ones that stay for longer are either too rusty to look for another job or one of the early employees with millionaire-making stock package.

Pros

Great benefits, good work life balance, trying to turn some of the negative things from before around and create a better culture

Cons

I just walked by the recruiting girls eating lunch and as soon as I walked by they started saying really mean and terrible things about me. Super unprofessional and just mean. I'm seriously considering leaving. Why are they so mean?
