Avantages
* Individual contributors were lovely and cared about gaming. * Lots of potential, Unity has a good footing and there's still a lot of good to be done. * Very talented devs and people who were usually willing to share knowledge if you asked.
Inconvénients
* Leadership don’t play or care about gaming. They just wanna milk money at any cost. It feels bad to work for this mindset when you’re passionate about gaming. * CEO is toxic, he gives 0 care about anything other than profit, to the point he's insulted gamers/devs openly in the media. * Senior Leaders also toxic: one of them famously told people to rent a second home to go back to the office, not knowing that most people can’t afford it. They offered no apology once they were corrected. * Nothing ever got done: Any attempts to progress and prep for the future, scale processes or enhance business offerings just sat behind red tape or never discussed. I didn't even get a rejection, just nothing happened. So much wasted effort planning and fighting for decisions to be made only for nothing to ever happen. * No off-sites: Our org banned them. There were people in my team who had worked there for over 5 years and had never met their global peers. * Unity thrived in silos and there was no effort encouraged by leadership to work cross functionally. It wasn't even in a career expectation matrix for any of the several roles I saw or supported. * My org had 5 product mangers but no new features or roadmaps were published in the year I was there. I went up to the VP of product who didn’t see a problem. They all got promoted before I left, I was livid. * None of the product managers played or were into gaming. Frankly I had no idea what any of them did. They never spoke to customers either. I've been working close to product for 14 years and had never experienced anything like it. * Vastly understaffed dev teams. * If someone churned you had to fight to get the HC back. I had to cry to HR to get a HC back after an initial rejection because my team and myself were working 12 hour days for months. * Many people rejected for promotion because budgets didn't exist, even if they were eligible and already working at the next level. Way to get more for less. And after all this, below average pay for the role. I took over a 40% pay cut which I regret. I moved on very quickly and got back my full expected salary 1 month after leaving. It's not worth it.
