Vantaggi

Like most places there are amazing people here, and like most places there are some pretty exciting things going on. And its likely you have a fond memory of using Unity and would like to make it better, and maybe there is a chance to do that.

Svantaggi

Growth opportunities are hard to find in a company with endless hiring freezes regardless of what path. Return to Office compounds that as teams can mostly only hire near there current employees. If you are into delivering A+ software, this isn't the place for you. This is about churning out 'features' whatever exec has a interest in, and then moving onto the next feature. Delivery quality software isn't on the cards for most. Product don't care, execs don't care, they are convinced its the users who are wrong and "Unity is just a big target" etc... If you are an engineer that wants to be deeply involved in your product/library again forget it, that's the Product departments role. It doesn't matter most of them don't have backgrounds in Dev/Games/Software they set the direction of everything and will ignore engineers advice. Not entirely their fault, they need to stay in the good graces of their execs, and the best way is just to do what ever execs dream up. Morale is rock bottom, execs know it and don't care, they see this as a buyers market for employees. A senior manager said in response to my concern about attrition "Easy to replace them in this market". We used to run quarterly surveys and address feedback to try make Unity a great place to work, we don't do that anymore. The execs seen economic downturn as a way to reset company culture and shed everything that made Unity a great place to work at. Empathy used to be at the core of most of values. That's gone now. Return to office is widely regarded internally as a mechanism to shed staff without going through a round of layoffs. You have no control what team you are on, they have reorged so many times you can quickly find yourself on some experimental feature (EG: NFTs) that gets cut.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
