Pros

The mid-level ICs and lower-level mgmt are the most enjoyable people I have ever had the privilege of working with - Unit hires excellent people. Product is cutting edge; very reliable.

Cons

Newer requirements to be in-office contradict the premise under which many people were hired. Leadership does not understand the pain-points of day-to-day operations... too focused on selling to new clients; not enough attention on making sure existing clients are happy and successful. Many efficiencies lost; untapped potential; lots of room for improvement. Product is being pulled in one very specific direction leaving very few to no resources to support existing products. Toxic leadership... becoming very hierarchical. Perhaps a result of growing so quickly... what was once a very flat organization (something Unit took pride in) is now feeling very tall. Corporate Culture has been lost and/or forgotten; employee engagement is no longer a priority. Annual review process and raise fell short of expectations.

Pros

The interview process was very smooth. Everyone I met with was transparent and informative. The team is incredibly smart, hardworking, and thoughtful. Supportive colleagues have made it easy to contribute from day one. There is great energy in the office that makes me excited about coming to work every day.

Cons

Not for everyone. Best suited for people who are comfortable with extreme ownership.

Pros

Unit has a genuinely great in-person culture. Some teams come in 5 days a week by choice, which honestly says a lot. The office is also in a great spot (Tribeca), and it’s a place you actually want to spend time. I’ve never felt more excited to show up to work every day. The energy is high, people move fast, and it feels like you’re surrounded by people who are really good at what they do. The talent here is the real deal... smartest group of people I’ve worked with, but without the ego. People are sharp and direct, but also humble and collaborative. Also, Unit is one of the more diverse companies I’ve worked at, and it’s not just surface-level. You see it across teams and leadership, and it actually shows up in how people work together.

Cons

The company is split across two offices, so depending on where you sit, you can feel a little removed from product/engineering. It’s not a huge issue, but you definitely get less exposure vs. being in one office together.
