Pros

- Brilliant individuals - Great community and recognition in gaming - Valuable and worthwhile mission, at least in theory

Cons

The engineering and facts-driven, "may the best idea win" culture has been fully and perhaps irrevocably lost. In his desire to "preserve the company culture", JR (the CEO) has allowed his management team to create a siloed mess, with team leaders pulling into whichever direction they see best. Empire building and backstabbing abounds, and the HQ keeps being bulged with people trying to make names for themselves. There is no leadership, no sense of unifying mission, no accountability and no communication of decisions until after the fact. Avoid at all costs.

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 Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training.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.
