Pros

- Unity looks good in your CV, at least for now. - We’re still having some perks, though they keep on cutting them on a quarterly basis.

Cons

- Unless you like the political game, run away from here. People only get far boot licking. - Insane title inflation. You get Staff engineers with skills that a junior can do better, or senior managers with no previous management experience or project management experience. None of this is their fault, but the lack of actual definitions of roles, the heavy politics games and favouritism, and a core totally rotten, is the cause. Just look at the popularity of the company on the eyes of our customers, and assume that that’s only the tip of the iceberg as many of the bad things remain internal. - Unity is great at creating artificial problems just to justify the promotion of a manager, at the cost of their users.

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
