Perhaps the most interesting company in the video games industry.

Pros

* Absurdly intelligent people everywhere * Flat organizational hierarchy * Accessible upper management (even the CEO) * Carefully managed strong growth of core business * Thoughtful and patient investment in many other verticals

Cons

* Compensation packages are below market rate for San Francisco * No stock options except for upper management (though you can fight for them and win) * HR and accounting appear disorganized and underinvested in

A great company that is growing fast

Pros

- Work with passionate, talented people who care about the product, from the newest intern to the CEO. - Treated like an adult, given latitude to make decisions within your purview and plan your own workday. - Great work environment. No suit and tie! He//, no shoes (shirt required though, please). Drink beer on the job (just don't spill on the keyboard, please). Work whatever hours you want (within reason). - ZERO crunch. - FAFF (Fridays Are For Fun). Time permitting, you're allowed to work on a project of your choice and often the last part of the day is a party, everything from go-cart races to beer drinking. - Great relationship with customers. They appreciate the democratization of games the engine provides and the passion of the crew, and respond in kind.

Cons

- Repetitive work (but I knew this going into the job). - As with most jobs in the game industry, the pay isn't what you'll get on the outside. But you're working in the game industry, and you'll never hate going to work in the morning! - No matching 401k.

This review is from 2013 and since this time we have grown considerably, honed our focus, grown our leadership team and have amazing benefits. If you are still working with us-we hope you have been able to take advantage of the 401k match and other increasingly amazing benefits such as commute, fitness, and excellent paternity/maternity leave. Thanks for your hard work and the review!

Pros

Nice company , great office location. The people are nice (sometimes) . Catered food everyday.

Cons

CEO works in this office and doesn't makes it a point to say hello to people. Will not utter two words to people in the office. Is not very pleasant At ALL. Management is unorganized All day EVERYDAY emails.

Thanks for your review. Unity Technologies is in a time of strong growth and we pride ourselves on our excellent benefits and open and accessible work environment. Streamlined communication is key with 20 international offices and we actively encourage community discussion in order to create the very best product possible. Weekly department meetings and monthly all-hands meetings ensure ample opportunity for employee feedback.

One of the top 5 in Montreal

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Working on something that matters and changes the lives of many independent game developers 2. Open culture. You believe the CEO is wrong? You can raise it, and you will be heard 3. Very supportive company. Everything that you need to have a better life and be more performant will be available for you right away 4. Many many many perks: free lunch and drinks, transport subsidies, gym subsidies, training sessions, many social events, Hackweeks (in Denmark)

Cons

Depending on your role, you may observe many changes in the direction of your team., since the company is dealing with cutting-edge technologies and demands are changing. I guess it can be both pro or con.

It was good, but could have been so much better.

Pros

Pros are friendly people, a great CEO, smart people, good lunches, nice conferences, good travel support.

Cons

Politics now need to be managed better as the company is growing so fast and inter and intra group dynamics could be nicer. The sales team folks are set up to compete against each other and the channels - which is a bit bizarre. There is also no process for career development or job sharing across divisions to stimulate employee growth. Management from overseas occasionally tries to manage directly, but does not understand the nitty-gritty of the dog eat dog sales world the employees on the sales team live with and manage every day. The vision of the company and it's investors, and tactics to reach the vision is too short term for most of their business development managers to get the deals the company needs longer term (after 3-5 years out).

Thanks for your 2012 review. In the time since you wrote your review, Unity has grown considerably with an aggressive long term outlook and is making a strong effort to support employees both with skills training and excellent benefits. What was a sales office in 2012 is now the gorgeous global headquarters.

Pros

Hands down for best place i have ever worked and that is when i have industry experience of 12+ year. I have worked at pretty good companies around the world but none of them matches to Unity. You can find companies with free lunch, unlimited stocks and many other benefits but what makes Unity unique is not just that. 1. The culture is great. People care for each other. They want to be successful as group and not as an individual. 2. Everyone strongly believes in democratising the game development. For everyone their game developers/users are most important. 3. Very very innovative place. Everyone is doing something new everyday. 4. People own stuff. No middle management. Everyone takes decision and feel empowered. 5. Awesome benefits and great office location. You will get opportunities to travel if in right team. 6. CEO and his leadership is very humble and transparent. Communication is really good. 7. Its going to be a pretty successful company if everyone keep doing the right thing.

Cons

Not anything i can think of.
