Unity Response

Thanks for taking the time to comment. We are definitely on a tear as a company but have a work hard play hard approach with above market holidays/time off! In response to the title— “No longer democratizing game development”— We have more resources on game development than ever before so no loss of focus there. But it is true that other industries have continued to use our tech because it's true 3D and real-time. We're excited more and more users are gaining value from our engine and tools.

Pros

-Flexible WFH environment -Decent work life balance and good benefits for the US based employees

Cons

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast. -CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand. -Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage. -Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.
