Pros

Even with all the recent growth Unity is still in it's infancy of ideas, processes and systems. So joining the company allows you to utilize all your strengths and truly make an impact. Plus the visibility that leadership provides into the direction of the company is refreshing. I've never seen C-Suite leaders openly engage in discussion/debate with all employees about product ideas, roadmap etc. Keep it up!

Cons

With so much growth there has been a certain level of friends hiring friends. While referrals are great if too much overlap is done when hiring it can start to create an alienating environment for others.

Pros

Great team, highly capable. Everyone seems to be very passionate about what they do and happy to share knowledge. I've never seen a management this transparent and accessible: everyone from the C-level to my direct managers are very approachable and open to talk about almost any issue.

Cons

small office, a bit noisy.

Pros

Most of the pros have vanished into thin air, but Unity is still a viable resume filler. The product itself has gotten so bad (in places), that Unity is willing to offer you a great bribe if hiring you makes it look like they care. The best part having people 'correct' your opinions online by posting over the top fake reviews, thanks so much HR! Actually is better than Activision, minus pay if you're coming from overseas to work here.

Cons

Office Bullies, you basically have people who are there because they know the founders, who have promised to lash out against anyone who wants a life or decent pay, who can't read a technical paper or even finish a student level project but are convinced they're the source of cutting edge knowledge. Your experience may vary based on your level of twitter fame, whiteness, and what team you're on. Backstabbing - In order to attract more people, Unity is now going over the heads of the people who made it what it is and handing out made up job titles and big money to e-celeb programmers. No longer based on merit, the Copenhagen Office is ironically some of the poorest paid, most talented people in the business. The past year has had seniors and people who've been here since the beginning decrying the horrid state things are in, with absolutely no improvement. It's been a dramatic and tumultuous time. You wouldn't know this on the outside because people spend so much time lying about it through social media. Teams are broken up to make it easier to whip them into working constantly, or just because someone wants to own it. Goodbye safe workspace, hello divorce papers. (Because we're all so busy "volunteering" our time, it certainly doesn't pay.) When people said an EA CEO would ruin the company culture they were only partially right, he was hired by the founders and stake holders precisely because he doesn't care about anyone or anything but making a profit at the expense of the product, the people, and the customers. His ideas were the most generic "Let's copy that rich company" kind of concepts you could imagine, 'Let's ad coca-cola ads into the middle of people's deep indie game', 'let's sell everyones data', 'let's troll for patents despite leaving our engine in the dust technologically', 'let's ignore the women that keep disappearing from our technical teams that half of the company knows were harassed'. His attitude reflects all of the higher ups, and his attempt at engaging the loss of culture has been laughably out of touch. From senior management telling me that females corrupt company culture, and stories I've heard on the grapevine, don't join as a programmer if you're a woman. They're Feminists on Twitter and misogynists in the office.
