Pros

Some of the most talented engineers I worked with

Cons

From day one until last week, when Unity decided a lot of us are disposable, every day was filled by empty promises, misdirection and the occasional "my way or the highway" from management. In their wisdom our dear top management decided that the company only needs engineers and started last year to cut all the other roles. But it didn't work out the way they wanted and now they blame us for being remote so they imposed a RTO. Stakeholders only chase profits, they forgot a long time ago about the game engine, that laid the Unity foundation, and just shift with the wind throwing buzz words about Metaverse and AI hoping suckers will buy into their fantasies so they could sellout and retire. None of those things exist. I haven't seen any innovation in my entire time at Unity, only acquisitions, disbanded teams and the most incompetent board there is in this industry.

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.
