Pros

Work can be fun and exciting. Most times, they are overwhelming.

Cons

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.

Pros

fantastic environment with really great people. Very inclusive and an honest dedication to keep it that way. technically a start-up but big and successful enough that it doesn't carry the typical risks of working at a start-up. Opportunity to work with innovative technologies. Management that legitimately cares about their employees. Ill be honest, as someone on the autism spectrum I spent 15 years working for places that I didnt fit in, didnt have any feelings (one way or the other) about the product or service i was working on and just resigned myself to the fact that maybe the perfect job i was envisioning for myself simply didnt exist. I would sit at company meetings where everyone else would pass the company koolaid around and happily take a sip, while i would secretly roll my eyes. I didnt understand how people could love a company or a job. ITS A JOB AFTER ALL. That all changed when I started working at Unity. For the first time I work at a company where I believe in our product and love what I do. Most important of all...I feel like I fit in. I feel like people go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and a part of things. From my first conversation with the recruiter up til my most recent conversation with my boss this whole experience has been amazing. Of course, its still a job and there are ups and downs and bad days and good days. But overall I love coming to work and am so thankful I work for a company where being inclusive isnt just some goal on a memo. It really matters here.

Cons

Moving to new office but until that happens we are getting more and more crowded and continue to hire more and more people, Some teams are having to sit at a satelitte office which isnt ideal, hard to feel part of things if you arent sitting with the rest of the company. Salary is only mildly competitive to rest of industry but once they go pubic im guessing this will improve. Lunch is free so its kinda hard to complain but I bet they pay good money for that lunch and I cant imagine that there isnt a better catering company for the money they must be spending. ( i know what a silly thing to complain about, first world problems)

Pros

Work on the future of one of the biggest platforms for interactive content. Company is (was?) growing fast. Good compensation and benefits. Good work life balance.

Cons

While I was there the company was booming in revenue, and they were growing fast and hiring fast. But they seemed more focused on new sources of revenue and marketing than on improving the state of the art of their core product (which in hindsight is in line with their choice of CEO), and this seemed to reflect on the quality and intentions of the hires. In my department I was surrounded by people that were more interested in playing games of politics for their own individual benefit than actually create value, their vector to the top was more important than allowing value in, even if it meant firing people that could have brought tremendous value. It's no surprise to me that their tools are years behind their main competitor.
