Unity Response

Thanks for taking the time to comment. We are definitely on a tear as a company but have a work hard play hard approach with above market holidays/time off! In response to the title— “No longer democratizing game development”— We have more resources on game development than ever before so no loss of focus there. But it is true that other industries have continued to use our tech because it's true 3D and real-time. We're excited more and more users are gaining value from our engine and tools.

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
