Pros

As someone with considerable work experience, I had high expectations upon joining the company. Unfortunately, I didn't have a very positive experience while working there. As everyone's experience is a personal one, I'll omit sharing specific details. However, here is some brief information that may help you determine if Unity is the right fit for you: I found Unity's culture to be quite organic/chaotic in nature. After additional reflection, I consider it to be an "adhocracy" culture (little focus on process, greater focus on whiteboarding). Thus, if you come from a "corporate" environment, many of the best practices shared in those business settings are almost shunned at Unity. During my time there, I tried to introduce ways of thinking that I thought could make things a lot easier for me/us going forward, but my efforts were met with considerable resistance. I grew increasingly frustrated with the lack of consistency and communication. In contrast, if you are a "hacker" type, are new to the work environment (i.e., you have few opportunities to compare against), or have extensive technical experience, then Unity might be a match. On the plus side, I found Unity to be quite groundbreaking in terms of the capabilities being developed.

Cons

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
