Pros

Payment is ok, work-life balance is great

Cons

Multiple Reduction-In-Force where 2k+ people were fired. New CEO each year, but the same old clowns just below him.

Pros

* worked on really cool tech * the values lived on the team level are absolutely aligned with my personal values (in it together + focus on arriving on the best idea for impact on users) * some wickedly smart people with deep knowledge * name recognition and community goodwill (until unforced error re runtime fee - bad idea, awful execution) * severance was generous

Cons

* base pay was fairly low, so with underperforming stock the total compensation wasn't great (though being part of an amazing team was worth a lot to me) * with going public they also went corporate and the the values are better lived out at the team level than in leadership (though I have hopes for the new CEO Jim Whitehurst - fingers crossed) * little job security with the bonkers amount of layoffs (not just percentage but number of rounds) - they weren't performance based, so if you were on a project that got chopped you were most likely out, unless you could find a different role internally :/ - I survived many cuts until our project got hit.

Pros

Great benefits (commute reimbursement, free meals 3x a week), good total compensation, chill colleagues and work environment, great office, interesting projects.

Cons

Previous head of management made inexplicable mistakes post-IPO and put the company in the precarious position it is in today. New interim CEO's job was to cut aggressively to save money. The result might have saved the company in the short term but long term damage remains to be seen. Thankfully, he wants to go back to what Unity did best: develop the most versatile game engine in the world. Maybe there's a chance Unity gets back on the right track, but I won't hold my breath. Overall: bad management track record, old CEO out but some bad apples remain, new management is a mixed bag, uncertain future

Pros

The people working in this company. I'd say 90% of them are amazing to work with and super passionate.

Cons

Biggest cons in the last few years were related to poor executive leadership. But that started changing with the new CEO (who let go pretty much all of the execs in his first year).

Pros

Outstanding benefits, values, work-life balance, peer promotion process • Passionate and caring employees • Culture of iterative improvement

Cons

Turmoil after becoming a public company in 2020 (too many acquisitions, layoffs, unprofitable quarters). Hopefully Jim's changes create the necessary focus to improve financials and key products.

Company doesn’t seem to know where it’s headed. Too many CEO changes and several rounds of layoffs.
