Pros

There are many challenges to tackle, which is great in case that we want some change. We can work from home once a week (on average). There are many opportunities to meet and talk to very technically knowledgeable people around the globe. The environment is relax and friendly and my manager makes sure that I enjoy what I'm doing.

Cons

It's hard to keep track of all what's going on internally because there are so many teams and projects.

Sad to see the downward spiral

Pros

The office provides good refreshments, cold-brew coffee, lunch. Also every Wednesday it offers breakfast (and cereal and milk are always available). Benefits are good and the company is even generous on holidays.

Cons

It's sad to see this downward spiral that the company is going along. As some comments mentioned, the upper management doesn't set a clear goal with expectations, and then it leads to ugly politics as if every team's goal is to look after themselves and maximize their territory. The company really has a big execution problem: it occupies a great spot in the gaming industry and then what? We got pumped up after the Pokemon Go craze, having hired a lot of people and many employees, who are also fans of Unity, having embraced the optimism as well as empowerment. Now, there comes the reality check? BTW, the Glassdoor rating comes from 4.6 to 3.8 (as of today) in a year. I have to say the HR plays a role here. Many other reviews said so and I think I can actually prove it from the HR response here at Glassdoor. "...Regarding reviews, our HR team is focused on things like culture, training, and benefits, and doesn't have the time to write reviews- plus there are technology filters and algorithms the site has set up to detect fraud..." - May 31, 2018 Unity Technologies What did I see? Dishonesty in bold capital letters. Why? You are a Unity HR employee (not Glassdoor) so how do you know "this site" has set up "technology filters and algorithms" to detect fraud? Did you actually try that (if so, it's a serious integrity issue and more) ? If not, you are just dishonest and want to respond whatever looks good to yourself to show Unity is in good shape. Also, while your HR team is so much focused, you still have time writing responses on Glassdoor (it doesn't take more time to write a 5-star all-good review, plus you can ask others to write). So, people are not stupid. That is exactly how Unity HR handle things.

Unity Response

It’s hard for me to reply to this review and the other reviews you wrote. I can see you are angry and seem to be in pain, which troubles me. From time to time we have employees who find themselves on a team or project that they aren’t happy about. They go to their manager or if their manager is the problem they go to the next level leader, another leader, HR or even our CEO. Unity is a very approachable culture. I’m not sure why you don’t feel you can do that but encourage you to try it. I promise you if you reach out to me or even John, you will be listened to and get an immediate response. The conversation will be confidential. Unity is filled with examples of employees sharing what’s not working as well as what is. They are engaged in making it better. If you join one of our internal Slack channels and in the round tables you would see the tremendous passion from the employees both for our customers but also for our company. Massive passion and pride. It would be great if you can reach out so we can address your situation. Elizabeth Brown--Unity Head of HR

Happiness is a Choice

Pros

I work in Engineering at Unity. I am building cool stuff that I am stoked about on a brilliant team. I came here with lots of other choices which still remain available to me. I like it here because I have a choice and a voice. If I don't like something, I let them know what I think we should do. Eventually it will get fixed, by them or my team and myself. I speak up because I hate complaining. I own my career, my goals, success and the path I am taking. The company is growing at an amazing rate, there are plenty of career paths and growth opportunities. Seize the Day.

Cons

This isn't heaven, it's work and I don't expect it to be. I will tell my boss or a leader here about the things I don't like. Glassdoor is not the forum for that for me. I don't believe in making cheap shots.
