Failing dream riddled with politics and toxicity
Pros
- A really cool product with lot's of potential. -There are some nice people at Unity. -Used to be a really great place to work.
Cons
- Toxic management from the middle managers all the way to the top, Some people at Unity really love to play the game and aim to blame other's for their own failures or the failures of the company itself due to repeated layoffs. -Office politics is rampant within Unity. Expect favoritism if you would like to be promoted / treated fairly. Work life balance used to be a thing at Unity. -A large portion of your compensation is stock, which is unfortunate because leadership makes bad decision after bad decision, rendering your stock worthless. You are expected to only receive about a 1-3% raise each year. -Departments are completely siloed, decisions that affect other teams are executed without any kind of communication. You will constantly be sprung with large issues that have tight deadlines because of this. -Layoff after layoff after layoff, in my time within Unity, I have experienced a layoff every 3-6 months. Great people are let go, great products are terminated and executives are handsomely rewarded for their failures. This has caused Unity to be filled with a lot of jaded workers. -Unity merged with IronSource, an Israeli based company. When the Israeli - Palestinian war began, many employees began to target each other in public Slack channels with discriminatory remarks, there were no serious repercussions due to this. This created further mistrust in the company to keep their employees safe.
