Toxic work environment and extremely political

Pros

The usual perks of a late-stage startup. Good office space.

Cons

Toxic culture from the top down. Unity basically recycled its leadership from Electronic Arts - has the worst reputation in the gaming industry. Unity treats employees like dispensable working machines, cruel and impersonal. Nearly all teams within the company are dysfunctional and run poorly by most leaders of each team. When half of your onboarding group left the company within 6 months, that’s an astonishing metric, isn’t it? Even worse, the CEO and the Chief of People are openly dating. Then he was sued in a sexual harrassent case. I would be very cautious working for a company that allows the existence of these types of behaviors. Final thoughts, if you have the drive to excel at your career, or you embrace the well-deliberated startup culture, or you believe in authentic human interactions, choose with caution!!!

Pros

Amazing perks and salary with the market (still below what is needed to live decently in London, but very few companies pay that well in this market). Good equipment and one of the most beautiful offices I've ever worked in. The Unity3D product is one of the best we have in the market, but my division (ads) it's facing some issues that certainly will be solved soon. Overall it's a place with very bright people.

Cons

They hired some people that have no fit with the company at all. We are supposed to help developers grow using our platform for app discovery. This means the whole team travels a lot and goes to events. A lot of social interaction. One of the new hires, that comes from the mobile advertising space, basically can't control himself on dating apps and with clients. And it is fine until it starts to impact business and morale in the office. We can overlook somebody that is unfit and not that bright, but not overlook this kinds of misconduct after what happened last year. We are losing revenue and while some women don't mind, others are putting our hard built reputation on the ground. Lots of office politics, hard to navigate if you come from a no-BS environment. Sometimes we hardly have stuff to do or it is extremely boring.

Pros

- Reasonably decentralized across the world, people are free to speak their mind and sometimes their opinion is accepted too. - If you have your own initiative and drive and put effort to pushing it forward, it is not impossible to get it done. But you need both investment in influencing people and putting the hard work. - Employees both from business and engineering are different but both enthusiastic and helpful to each other.

Cons

- To get things done and pushed forward in a decentralized organization a lot of influencing and socializing may be needed. It is a bit like running your own company and it can be stressful. - Because of the huge degree of freedom everyone has in this organization, politics is quite complex and you need to be diplomatic and careful to navigate in the organization well. - The business and engineering people are great but not so sure about the HR guys. I wouldn't say bad, but I didn't yet feel anything positive yet.
