Pros

At Unity, it really depends on your manager when it comes to work-life balance. Some managers are really good about it, while others... not so much.

Cons

- The company's leadership team has demonstrated consistently poor communication skills, resulting in a lack of direction and confusion among employees. - Benefits have been frequently removed, making it difficult for employees to rely on them. - Employees have even experienced pay decreases in the form of lost monetary benefits and pushed back promotion cycles - The culture promoted by Unity's leadership feels disingenuous and is only prioritized when it aligns with their agenda. - Unity lacks a clear company direction and has shown a lack of focus, jumping from one thing to another. - High-level management has been ineffective and detrimental (calling people f**** idiots) in engaging with the public and making decisions in good faith. - Team siloing is a persistent issue, creating a lack of collaboration and communication among departments. - Instead of dealing with the issues causing siloing and duplication of work, leadership just cuts the duplicates and continues to let the reason why the problem happened unaddressed. - The company has undergone constant restructuring, which damages productivity and established relationships among employees. - Unity has laid off individuals with years of experience, resulting in a loss of deeply knowledgeable employees with institutional knowledge. - Unity has shown a persistent dismissal of valid concerns and a tone-deaf approach to messaging. - Unity consistently prioritizes punishing people for how they criticize things. Instead of being concerned that frustration has reached a boiling point, they are easily distracted and emotional with how things are conveyed. They fixate on how a message is delivered and don't focus on the content of the message. - They frequently operate around feelings and emotional trends, and not data. - With trends company has a demonstrated history of chasing trends, for example, the metaverse and now AI

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.
