Pros

Friendly colleagues, good perks, cool product.

Cons

Sigh... No cross-team, unified measure for success, leading to disfunction between teams and departments. Work is often duplicated or redone despite documented issues because folks want to prove to managers they are superior. However, Individuals who work extra hard are rarely rewarded, regardless of recognition.

Pros

Big player in gaming industry. People are generally very friendly.

Cons

Sooner or later, one will realize that working hard at Unity will bring nothing in return. You will get a few "good job" and "you're awesome" from your peers and manager but it will translate to *zilch* in financial reward. Unity is a transitory point for many software engineers. You join and mayyyy be get to work on a cool-sounding project. But, working here for more than a year is a grave and career-ending mistake. Most stick around till their stock vest and move on to more rewarding opportunities. The ones that stay for longer are either too rusty to look for another job or one of the early employees with millionaire-making stock package.

Pros

Developer community that deeply cares about the product.

I have been pulling 70 hour/week for over a month. This is becoming the new norm. I am leaving because this pace is soul crushing.

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
