Pros

Pretty chill office right in downtown SF. Delicious lunch. 401k matching.

Cons

If you are looking to join Unity as a software engineer. Consider a couple facts. - There is no growth for individual contributors at Unity. There is no Staff or Senior Staff level. If you don't want to step up and become a tech lead (aka manager), you will stagnate and so will your compensation. - There is no leveling or it is not disclosed to most employees. HR is really bad at this. - Software engineers don't have much of a say. Many passionate and technically adept engineers have become dejected because management has treated them as no more than a cog in a wheel. - Teams live in its own bubble. They don't share knowledge or best practices with other teams. It sucks because one of the goals of cross functional teams is knowledge sharing. But, what happens here is that different teams repeat a different version of others mistakes. - Poor management and lack of direction. If you think that you are going to make something out of those stock options soon. Think again. And after that, think again twice. - Onboarding procedure is very disorganized or it doesn't exist. People have to hunt down others to get resources and help. - Suffice it to say morale is pretty low right now.

Pros

Huge presence in the gaming industry. There's plenty of exciting projects to work on. Nice office in downtown office. Eclectic mix of co-workers.

Cons

Working under inexperienced manager who lacks knowledge of the system can make your life a living hell! Work life balance is rare.

Thank you for your review. Glad that you are able to work on plenty of exciting projects here. Sorry to hear about your experience with your manager. We want to ensure all of our employees are heard, empowered and valued, and we are constantly enriching the employee experience by providing employees with the tools and training needed to grow within the company. And our culture values that all of our employees should have work life balance. We believe that while there are times in all organizations where we have to work extra hard to meet deadlines or support a customer in need, it should be the exception not the rule.
