Unity reviews

While I was there the company was booming in revenue, and they were growing fast and hiring fast. But they seemed more focused on new sources of revenue and marketing than on improving the state of the art of their core product (which in hindsight is in line with their choice of CEO), and this seemed to reflect on the quality and intentions of the hires. In my department I was surrounded by people that were more interested in playing games of politics for their own individual benefit than actually create value, their vector to the top was more important than allowing value in, even if it meant firing people that could have brought tremendous value. It's no surprise to me that their tools are years behind their main competitor.

- Politics have become paramount; if you're not good at playing corporate politics, you won't last long, despite your talents/success in your role. - Culture has become incredibly corporate; family feeling has been largely lost, though this varies by office. - Abysmal stock options plans ("insulting" I have heard some employees say). - Poor bonus structure that doesn't reward the true talent in the company. - No 401K matching/generally poor benefits (though again better in some offices than in others). - You're one misstep away from being terminated, with no mentoring by senior management on how to improve. - Management says one thing, often means something completely different. - Company has strayed from its vision of "democratizing game development" by straying away from the core product while making it more accessible, while funneling developers in to their services offerings, at the expense of other options (this is not "democracy").
