How are career development opportunities at Unity?

The first year I worked at Unity was amazing, everything was going so well. Then the first layoffs made us re-org and we lost a key member of our team and it was all downhill from there. Free lunches Good coworkers Good work life balance Relaxed atmosphere - I've heard this depends on the team though but mine was very relaxed Starting pay was good for the time

I'll preface this by saying I was laid off via an email. My manager didn't even talk to me at all, which is an unbelievably cowardly thing to do. Almost every other coworker I had, even some I barely worked with, reached out and wished their best at least. But management at every level is terrible, nobody above me there cared about anything. They're just there to get paid and they don't care about anything else, even the company. I warned management about so many things that were going wrong and they never bothered to fix it, leaving to MANY member's quitting for those exact reasons. Basically 0 raises for the last 2 years - other companies have vastly surpassed them in salary Stock price is an absolute roller coaster C-level executives are the worst out there - vastly overpaid and vastly under performing without taking any responsibility Management at every level is atrocious - every single person I've ever talked to who has quit has blamed their terrible manager as their reason Internal technologies are a mess, every team uses different things My team reorged 5 times in the 2 years I was there, it became a meme that we'd re-org every quarter There is no career progression, they prevented many people from getting promotions for 0 reason other than the company being cheap My career progression was halted because of so many reorgs and layoffs

Supportive colleagues, good company culture, opportunities for personal growth

Bad decisions from the executive team are paid for by hardworking employees through several rounds of layoffs each year

The company offers a great work-life balance and a very supportive team environment

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, and the salary increases tend to be slower than the industry average

* Advanced Tech Stack: Company uses cutting-edge technologies. * Hybrid Work Flexibility: the company chooses the office days (3 days). * Fantastic Team: Great talented colleagues. ( Competitive Benefits: Excellent benefits package.

* While there are many great people, I feel the company doesn't always do enough to actively retain those who have dedicated years to the organization. * Opportunities for more frequent and constructive feedback would be beneficial for employee growth and development. * Enhancing HR's role as a resource and advocate for employees would greatly improve the overall employee experience. * The company could benefit from developing clearer pathways for career advancement and internal mobility

good wlb, a lot of holidays(it's really not a pro since i'd prefer hardworking and growth, but it is a pro when there is not much work planned) good colleagues. most people are nice to work with, but lack of the expertise in domain knowledge. rarely see tech leaders in this company. sorry to discredit the ICs, but some of them are checked out.

lots of RIFs that generates a lot of uncertainty throughout the personal career path as well as company path. no tech leader or tech innovation. no product vision. lots of bureaucracy and politics and weird promotions. senior management is always planning but never communicate concrete deliverables and roadmaps.
