Pros

Creating cutting edge software in a new and burgeoning field. If you're used to a big and nasty corporate tech company, this one is still a baby, so it's teeth aren't that sharp yet. You may find this as an opportunity to get on the corporate ladder now before it's too late. Though it's still a fairly liberal and progressive company where the employees still want to "do the right thing" ...

Cons

... the management increasingly doesn't want to get caught "being evil". Very few of the original creatives and technicians still work at the company barring the very few at the top of the core. Corporate pressure has replaced virtually all of people who brought Unity into fruition as it lumbers its way into the big leagues as a corporate juggernaut. The company is now more interested in KPI driven pseudo-goals rather than intelligently focused achievements. This leads, not to a meritocracy, but to that typical corporate bullying and power taking that is seen in all big companies. Perhaps this was inevitable.

Pros

Very little positive to say. Nice in office lunches. Peers are certainly passionate, but seem to work 10+ hour days and take pride in being on early and up late every day.

Cons

Onboarding was a disjointed mess, with sessions led solely by my manager. Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training. Severe lack of coherent materials to reference. Unclear strategy, talk tracks, playbooks. Frequent role churn which was not made transparent during the interview process. Team operates so far outside of the core Unity product. Frequent reorgs and restructuring. No real idea how my role impacted the larger business. Unity’s adtech products are ultimately very uninteresting. Can’t speak to sentiment about working with their core product, but if you have to sell iAds, Tapjoy, Offerwall, or Aura (their most mind numbing product) - don’t waste your time.
