Unity reviews about "pay"

Management not really good; Pay not good enough

Stock price :( Constant state of turmoil and uncertainty

Two words: POOR MANAGEMENT. Unity has a habit of grossly rewarding it's upper management teams for failure all the while paying way below market for the regular employees who are the ones that work hard to make the company better. Failed in your job, poor leader, technically inept....don't worry....here's a HUGE retention bonus (in cash and stock). You're upper management!!! We'll just layoff a couple thousand employees to make up the difference. What a joke this company has been for the last few years. Even the "town halls" all have scripted Q&As. The company has failed its' customers and it's employees. I would avoid.

BAD TC, Horrible C-level Constant layoff and reorg No more culture after IronSource merge No career advancement Take away benefits, while paying C-level 150M a year

Student position pay is not that good. Might be hard to get better career opportunities.

Equal pay (compensation & Benefits) is certainly not something that the company worries about. There are individuals doing identical roles, who are getting paid substantially more than their colleagues who have served far longer tenures. If you are looking for a company that takes pride in ensuring all of their staff are paid fairly and, where relevant (eg. doing identical roles), equally, Unity is not for you.

Pay and benefits aren't terrible, but they aren't really close to what you can get at Microsoft or Google or Amazon. (I'm talking about engineers and PMs, I don't know anything about HR or Finance or LCA or whatever). I left Microsoft after 22+ years to join Unity back when it was still more like a family than a company, and it was the best decision I ever made, despite taking a pay cut and losing unvested options. Now, however, it's in the same general ballpark as working at Microsoft, in terms of quality of life; but the overall compensation is still what you'd expect from a family-style business.

I'll preface this by saying I was laid off via an email. My manager didn't even talk to me at all, which is an unbelievably cowardly thing to do. Almost every other coworker I had, even some I barely worked with, reached out and wished their best at least. But management at every level is terrible, nobody above me there cared about anything. They're just there to get paid and they don't care about anything else, even the company. I warned management about so many things that were going wrong and they never bothered to fix it, leaving to MANY member's quitting for those exact reasons. Basically 0 raises for the last 2 years - other companies have vastly surpassed them in salary Stock price is an absolute roller coaster C-level executives are the worst out there - vastly overpaid and vastly under performing without taking any responsibility Management at every level is atrocious - every single person I've ever talked to who has quit has blamed their terrible manager as their reason Internal technologies are a mess, every team uses different things My team reorged 5 times in the 2 years I was there, it became a meme that we'd re-org every quarter There is no career progression, they prevented many people from getting promotions for 0 reason other than the company being cheap My career progression was halted because of so many reorgs and layoffs
