Unity reviews

The engineering and facts-driven, "may the best idea win" culture has been fully and perhaps irrevocably lost. In his desire to "preserve the company culture", JR (the CEO) has allowed his management team to create a siloed mess, with team leaders pulling into whichever direction they see best. Empire building and backstabbing abounds, and the HQ keeps being bulged with people trying to make names for themselves. There is no leadership, no sense of unifying mission, no accountability and no communication of decisions until after the fact. Avoid at all costs.

Lack of career and salary advancement and incompetent management are great reasons to stay away from Unity. Most people also leave for those reasons. Upper management always sells exciting and impactful work as reasons to work at Unity. Unfortunately, exciting work doesn't pay rent in SF bay area. And it's difficult to be excited about your work when you are always drowned in technical debt. Oh yea, don't be surprised if you are expected to work crazy hours. No WLB. HR would probably respond to this by saying that this is not true and it's not the norm. It's a bunch of BS really.
