Company Culture Has Been Destroyed

Pros

- Absolutely phenomenal community. - Outstanding colleagues (most of them). - Insanely intelligent people.

Cons

- Politics have become paramount; if you're not good at playing corporate politics, you won't last long, despite your talents/success in your role. - Culture has become incredibly corporate; family feeling has been largely lost, though this varies by office. - Abysmal stock options plans ("insulting" I have heard some employees say). - Poor bonus structure that doesn't reward the true talent in the company. - No 401K matching/generally poor benefits (though again better in some offices than in others). - You're one misstep away from being terminated, with no mentoring by senior management on how to improve. - Management says one thing, often means something completely different. - Company has strayed from its vision of "democratizing game development" by straying away from the core product while making it more accessible, while funneling developers in to their services offerings, at the expense of other options (this is not "democracy").

Pros

Working at Unity has given me the opportunity to advance my skills and also find a ton of new friends in the process. I have enjoyed every minute and hope to be with the company for a long time! There are also great benefits, excellent compensation, and lunch served every day at the office!

Cons

None! Be expected to have a good attitude and be accountable for your own work!

Pros

Most of the pros have vanished into thin air, but Unity is still a viable resume filler. The product itself has gotten so bad (in places), that Unity is willing to offer you a great bribe if hiring you makes it look like they care. The best part having people 'correct' your opinions online by posting over the top fake reviews, thanks so much HR! Actually is better than Activision, minus pay if you're coming from overseas to work here.

Cons

Office Bullies, you basically have people who are there because they know the founders, who have promised to lash out against anyone who wants a life or decent pay, who can't read a technical paper or even finish a student level project but are convinced they're the source of cutting edge knowledge. Your experience may vary based on your level of twitter fame, whiteness, and what team you're on. Backstabbing - In order to attract more people, Unity is now going over the heads of the people who made it what it is and handing out made up job titles and big money to e-celeb programmers. No longer based on merit, the Copenhagen Office is ironically some of the poorest paid, most talented people in the business. The past year has had seniors and people who've been here since the beginning decrying the horrid state things are in, with absolutely no improvement. It's been a dramatic and tumultuous time. You wouldn't know this on the outside because people spend so much time lying about it through social media. Teams are broken up to make it easier to whip them into working constantly, or just because someone wants to own it. Goodbye safe workspace, hello divorce papers. (Because we're all so busy "volunteering" our time, it certainly doesn't pay.) When people said an EA CEO would ruin the company culture they were only partially right, he was hired by the founders and stake holders precisely because he doesn't care about anyone or anything but making a profit at the expense of the product, the people, and the customers. His ideas were the most generic "Let's copy that rich company" kind of concepts you could imagine, 'Let's ad coca-cola ads into the middle of people's deep indie game', 'let's sell everyones data', 'let's troll for patents despite leaving our engine in the dust technologically', 'let's ignore the women that keep disappearing from our technical teams that half of the company knows were harassed'. His attitude reflects all of the higher ups, and his attempt at engaging the loss of culture has been laughably out of touch. From senior management telling me that females corrupt company culture, and stories I've heard on the grapevine, don't join as a programmer if you're a woman. They're Feminists on Twitter and misogynists in the office.

Unity is growing quickly and management is making purposeful strides to create a company culture that is supportive of all employees. Our seasoned industry executive team provides a clear roadmap and appreciate employee feedback. We offer some of the best benefits in the industry including paid parental leave, commuter and proactive health and excercise benefits.
