Pros

- Most people are approachable though they are too busy to help you - Good food and booze

Cons

Three months after I joining I got moved to a different team to work on a project that I have no interest in. Talked to my manager about this and he pretty much just told me "tough luck, we need you on this task" . This new team wants me to push for more hours. This is insane. Don't repeat this grave mistake I made.

I am a VP at unity running labs. We take all reviews very seriously and I would love to hear from individuals who are not happy. We are fostering a culture of openness and transparency so I am ready to listen. I will go the extent of providing my phone number : 415 279 3985. My name is Sylvio. You can also slack me.

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
