Pros

Coming from internship to FT for 2 years now, I find that Unity coworkers are some of the best I've ever had. There is indeed a culture of being "in it together" in a way that is not competitive (IC-level and middle managers ❤️). I'm in the department previously known as "Accelerate Solutions" and I love the diversity of projects, industries, clients and tech that we get to work with!! I really feel that all opinions are heard democratically regardless of job level. A good idea is a good idea. There are also frequent events in the office and great workplace culture if you are open to it! Free lunches everyday ❤️ Annual compensation review cycles.

Cons

I used to believe in our leadership team years ago, but honestly I don't know how things could get worse right now. The C-Suite team and other directors have been making a SERIES of terrible decisions for the past couple years and this recent runtime fee announcement has honestly been the last straw for my faith in our leaders. How such tone-deaf decisions could be released with such little afterthought, tact, research nor care for our users that this whole company had been based on. The values that made me admire this company was trashed with little regard, and honestly I don't know how we can regain all the trust that was lost. If all this had happened years ago, I would never have pursued a career in Unity development and I will find it difficult to recommend now. Unity used to be my dream place to work, and I had rated it 5 stars back then, but now it has really changed. Also relatively lower pay than competitive market

Pros

Very little positive to say. Nice in office lunches. Peers are certainly passionate, but seem to work 10+ hour days and take pride in being on early and up late every day.

Cons

Onboarding was a disjointed mess, with sessions led solely by my manager. Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training. Severe lack of coherent materials to reference. Unclear strategy, talk tracks, playbooks. Frequent role churn which was not made transparent during the interview process. Team operates so far outside of the core Unity product. Frequent reorgs and restructuring. No real idea how my role impacted the larger business. Unity’s adtech products are ultimately very uninteresting. Can’t speak to sentiment about working with their core product, but if you have to sell iAds, Tapjoy, Offerwall, or Aura (their most mind numbing product) - don’t waste your time.
