Toxic and untrustworthy (zero stars)

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

There are definitely a lot of kind and very smart folks at Unity, unfortunately they are rarely in positions of power in which they could right the ship. Though, many of the good ones have quit or been cut through layoffs (this has created huge knowledge gaps that directly impact the business).

Cons

Very untrustworthy leadership - 3 rounds of layoffs, constant reorgs, no stability and no accountability on their part. The vision coming down from up high changes frequently, disrupting teams who do actual work. Most troubling is a serious communication and trust problem coming from the top down - different teams have conflicting information (or no information) about the directive du jour. It’s a toxic, clique-y company to work for and employees learn to trust no one, and is is truly not a healthy work environment.

Legacy code and chaos

Business Outlook

Pros

- You will learn what software practices to avoid. - There are some talented engineers hidden behind poor management

Cons

- Communication comes from all directions and there is no source of truth - Documentation on code, practices, infrastructure, etc.. are either 5-7 years old or nowhere to be found - Their use of contractors and cheap engineers has lead to spaghetti code bases that have bandaids on top of bandaids.
