Great people, interesting product - Anonymous employee Unit Employee Review

Appreciated meeting multiple different people and levels as part of the interview process. Love that the CEO is the final round "interview" for certain levels including mine. Was less of an interview and more a time to ask him questions directly about the Unit vision and product. It's great to see a CEO so involved in the hiring process and cares about the new people brought on. Thought that the onboarding was super helpful. Especially compared to other organizations that I've been in. Lots of documents to read and learn about the company history, processes, and visions. This could be due to size since we are a lean company. It may be harder to maintain CEO interview involvement and great onboarding process as the company scales.

In my short time it seems like the priorities have been shifted a little but that could be a sign of changing market conditions in the fintech space. Con that comes with any multinational company is working with people across different timezones and regions. Navigating schedules and working hours that work for multiple offices can be a challenge but most companies deal with that now.

Unit has a genuinely great in-person culture. Some teams come in 5 days a week by choice, which honestly says a lot. The office is also in a great spot (Tribeca), and it’s a place you actually want to spend time. I’ve never felt more excited to show up to work every day. The energy is high, people move fast, and it feels like you’re surrounded by people who are really good at what they do. The talent here is the real deal... smartest group of people I’ve worked with, but without the ego. People are sharp and direct, but also humble and collaborative. Also, Unit is one of the more diverse companies I’ve worked at, and it’s not just surface-level. You see it across teams and leadership, and it actually shows up in how people work together.

The company is split across two offices, so depending on where you sit, you can feel a little removed from product/engineering. It’s not a huge issue, but you definitely get less exposure vs. being in one office together.
