Unity reviews about "layoff"

In Ads in particular, all management and "decision making" now takes place in SF (copy/paste from Applovin), meaning that there are virtually no managers elsewhere, and everyone else is considered "unskilled labor" (literally the words of top managers). A LOT of public and internal overpromises about deliverables in projects that are not actually performing or even exist. Zero-sum mentality. Most chat channels are private and inaccessible to anyone not personally invited by certain managers. Think compartmentalization and "need to know" policies. Average overall compensation, considering stock as a part. It may be actually OK in smaller countries (compared to the local market) and considering stock refreshers, but you are still heavily dependent on stock performance. Expect 0-5% increase at best without promo. You can EASILY get 0% even if you are the smartest guy in the room. Delusional, out of touch senior management with no competence. It is a SF company, so everyone is a VP or Principal without any decent experience or unique knowledge. Super strange and unstable org chart. They "flatten" or restructure it every few months, managers change back and forth, people moved from project to project and backwards. No product vision for the last few years. Instead, they even killed all promising remaining initiatives (to "refocus"). Year after year, they continue to promise more data and ML will solve all the problems. Layoffs every few months to compensate for their own failures and lack of vision. Recently, they even decided to tear apart the entire office just because one executive received a fierce feedback of his plans. Since then, every time they open their mouth, you always hear: "You didn't believe in me, and now you shall see my success." Disgusting and inhumane. Friends promote friends and loyal people. Forget about working smarter and getting promoted for accomplishments. For reference, there are Staff engineers who struggle with git and have never had a github account. Super overpaid CEO for deliveries. 50M???

Lay offs were harsh and RTO

No overall strategy, cutthroat approach to making revenue at all costs (including layoffs constantly), happy to make things difficult for customers in favor of profit.

Unstable Work Environment – Recent rounds of mass layoffs have created an atmosphere of instability, raising concerns about the company’s internal management. Financial Instability and Potential Bankruptcy – The company has been facing significant financial challenges, fueling fears that it may be heading toward bankruptcy. Poor Valuation of Employees and Customers – Critics argue that Unity does not adequately value its employees or its customers, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among both groups. Frequent Policy Changes – Rapid and sometimes unclear changes in business models and policies have left developers and investors uncertain about the platform’s future direction. Performance and Optimization Issues – Despite its multi-platform capabilities, some developers have reported performance and optimization challenges, particularly on mobile platforms. Mismanagement of Key Personnel – The company has been criticized for laying off essential, productive employees while retaining toxic individuals who are seen as damaging the overall health of the organization.

Constant never ending reorganization, questionable decisions, multiple layoffs waves (7 in 3 years), 5 different managers in 3 years

Frequent Leadership Changes: During my time at Unity, there were multiple shifts in senior leadership, which at times created a lack of clear long-term vision and stability for certain teams. Strategic Uncertainty: Some decisions made at the leadership level felt disconnected from team-level realities, leading to confusion around priorities and team morale. Layoffs and Organizational Restructuring: The layoff cycle I experienced was abrupt and impacted many talented individuals. It also contributed to a sense of uncertainty across departments. Shift Away from Core Values: As the company scaled, there were moments where the culture felt less aligned with Unity’s earlier emphasis on openness and collaboration.

- Mass layoffs after mass layoffs - VPs and high management level are a PITA. - Politics & questionable decisions from higherups really ruined the product, especially in adtech.
