Pros

Nice people to work with Learning opportunity

Cons

- they cut all perks like wellness allowance - no salary increase, they just offer their stock which has lowest value in market - 3 rounds of mass layoffs in less than a year - they just hired so many people during covid and now they are just get rid of them - no work life balance - lots of stress due to lack of job security - working understaff as they stopped hiring - no transparency from higher managment - after each layoff the CEO cancels townhalls and he hides

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

Things keep getting worse and worse.

Pros

Used to have good work life balance and culture. Office has catered lunches (for now.)

Cons

Just a complete mess. Executives have no idea what they are doing, speak in buzzwords with no coherent vision. Nothing is ever done properly at unity, they couldn’t even get us our tax slips in a reasonable amount of time. Three rounds of mass layoffs in a year, share price that keeps tanking and there’s no accountability for the executives. Benefits have been slashed, remote work limited and unexplained delays to the compensation cycle. The execs make horrible company-ruining financial decisions and just collect millions of dollars while laying people off, taking away our benefits and running the company into the ground. The CEO is completely out of touch and can barely string together coherent sentences. It’s almost hard to believe someone could be so incompetent. Communication is utterly horrendous. The Rumor mill is insane and the worst rumours always end up being true.

Pros

Interesting work, great time off, great work-life balance. Truly good place with 99% super good people. The CEO is accessible, well loved, and will answer direct slacks. The upper management and execs are fabulous and talented. This is astonishing and awesome in a company of 5000. HR is mostly great, but I think they need more people to really respond to this growing workforce. The company is one of the few in Silicon Valley I have seen that is not ageist and realizes the value of deep experience. HR benefits team are constantly looking for new ways to delight us. Seriously!

Cons

The path to getting a promotion is too formulaic. While great people get promoted who deserve it, great people who make a difference in less obvious ways (participating in ERG groups, contributing to the culture, always being available to help and mentor others and make sure they are helping us be 'in it together' ) rarely get recognized or rewarded for that. Managers need a lot more training. And everyone should get at least a week of training on the unity product that makes sense to their job, within their first 6 months and perhaps every 6 months thereafter.

Pros

great people, but not at management level

Cons

unless you are in the US, carrier oportunities are 0. Company pretend good life work ballance , but you have the CEO sending emails on Sunday. All to succeed is to be in the US and take credit for the things. Management is totally disconected with the company and they have 0 understanding of what the company / the people stand for.

Pros

work from home work/life balance free food, free beer

Cons

CEO and leadership team are all over the place, no clear strategy. Things are always messy, change everyday because of the lack of strategy. A lot of micromanagement takes place and causes continuous changes.

Pros

A great place to create big impacts in the video game industry. Lots of very talented and smart people to learn all aspect of creating interactive experiences. Variety of projects means you don't get bored solving the same problems every time.

Cons

Since I've joined, they have cut many of the benefits that have made this job great. Initial layoff wave came with cut wellness benefits. Third layoff wave was the biggest layoff in the history of the company, coming at a time with the highest record profit in the history of the company. Additionally, they are now trying to force a Return To Work policy along with several rash unpopular decisions.
