Pros

- Some of the smartest and most talented people in the industry. - Everyone is super passionate about making Unity as great as it can be. - In R&D, management does seem to care about the engineers. - Travel all of the world.

Cons

- Everything (management included) is a bit disorganized. - Its very easy to fall into a slump of nonstop meetings and email. Its avoidable, but you have to take it on yourself to manage your time. No one is going to get you out of the distraction hole. - Hardly any formal training/professional development. If you want to get better, it's solely up to you.

The best company I have worked for by a long shot.

Pros

Incredibly friendly environment - It seems to be part of Unity's hiring policy that you can only get a job here if you are not only great at what you do, but are also a nice and friendly person. I can honestly say I have not met anyone here who I really don't get on with. Interesting work - The work I do is always interesting and varied. I couldn't ask to do something I wanted more really. Relaxed work ethic - I don't know if I speak for every team in the company (I think I do) but there is a feeling of get the work done and everything is okay. As a result time working is fairly flexible. Benefits - Occasionally my job calls for travel and this always makes for an interesting and pleasant experience. We also have perks such as Beer Fridays where in the afternoon on Fridays some beers are bought for us and we have a PS3 in the office for those that choose to use it.

Cons

Pay - I am paid enough to survive and be fairly comfortable. However, if I was to join another company doing a similar job, I'd probably be paid a little more. Benefits - As the company grows, the opportunity for travel lessens. It used to be that everyone in the company would attend the Unite company conference once a year but as of 2013 this is not the case any more. In fact, I believe less than a third of employees were able to attend this year. I understand this is a function of the company getting larger but nevertheless it is a benefit that is gradually being taken away. With regards to normal benefits such as pension, stock options and others. The UK office currently have none whereas the rest of the world do. This however is being rectified as we have been told we will be getting some benefits soon.

Pros

-Great coworkers -Intelligent engineers -Interesting and meaningful work -Nice offices and amenities (while they lasted, before terrible corporate decisions caused them to tighten the purse strings) -Good healthcare -Flexible scheduling options, e.g. in office, hybrid, and remote options -Pretty good PTO availability

Cons

-High leadership turnover -Leadership seems greedy, making short-term decisions that line their pockets but tank public perception. -Too many layoffs -No transparency -Leadership dodges direct and important questions at town halls about layoffs and the future of the company -Leadership tacitly uses threats of layoffs and ambiguous wording in emails to make you anxious and thus work unpaid overtime. -Using ambiguous wording in emails in general. Clearly something bad happened, or is going to happen, just tell us. -Leadership doesn't listen to its talented employees
