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.
