Pros

The people were the only reason I stayed.

Cons

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.

Pros

Benefits, free lunch daily in SF office, easy commute from BART, snacks galore. Some good colleagues but most of them left. Some fun office activities and good diversity in general.

Cons

tl;dr--find another place to apply to. -Exceptionally poor management. Expect to be gaslit and ridiculed by your managers. Your voice doesn't even matter. Everything that was once Unity (grow side) is now ran by Iron Source and they have 0 empathy for employees. -Poor culture. Just ask the employees that are still there how things were before Iron Source took over. It's night and day. -Upper management doesn't even have a grasp on how the Unity product works and nobody is ever aligned with product functionalities and launches. Miscommunication across the board. -They keep trying to run Unity like Iron Source and apply strategies that make no sense. -Management asks you to challenge them and when you do and they don't like your idea, you'll get skewered. They don't even want to bother with what you said. -Even though the interim CEO rescinded RTO, the management on the Grow side is forcing employees to come in 3x a week still. -During a meeting about culture, a manager literally said that since there have been so many layoffs, you now have space to come in and work wherever you want. - Clicky culture and a lot of 'yes man' mentality here. A lot of ego issues here. -Unity has laid off over 2K+ people since 2022.

Pros

Lot's of companies preach diversity whether it's actually genuine, or just to make the company look better to the public. That being said, Unity falls into the first category. There's a good chance your direct managers will be great, but the higher level leads don't have a grasp or care about how you are finding the company. That being said, the new Intern CEO has a good track record and will more likely than not lead Unity into a better future than in the past.

Cons

Because the new intern CEO is leading the charge, there's a lot of change happening at the company. So it's hard to write about how it may be in the future. Even so, in the years past, stability is the last word I would use to describe my experience. Upper management can also be very tone deaf to important situations.
