Pros

The company is well known and has a wide customer base still, still consider that it may have potential to get back on track.

Cons

Within about past 4-5 years a sequence of poor decisions were made, some were just mistakes in market assessment, some in chase for money to increase business runway within downtrending economic context, and some straight away to for personal benefits of certain leaders. This resulted in scandals, loss of reputation, huge discount in stock price, high talent attrition, annual reduction in forces followed by reorganization, and welcoming of new management bringing Amazon culture and work style which destroyed employee wellbeing. Change of CEO while improved overall situation, but not significantly. In my opinion, the best decisions were made by new CEO were to revert poor decisions of the previous management. Otherwise I can't say that so much needed improvements in vision, culture, employee well-being had taken steps towards what it user to be back in 2019.

Pros

Very little positive to say. Nice in office lunches. Peers are certainly passionate, but seem to work 10+ hour days and take pride in being on early and up late every day.

Cons

Onboarding was a disjointed mess, with sessions led solely by my manager. Outdated resources from 2019-2023 used for training. Severe lack of coherent materials to reference. Unclear strategy, talk tracks, playbooks. Frequent role churn which was not made transparent during the interview process. Team operates so far outside of the core Unity product. Frequent reorgs and restructuring. No real idea how my role impacted the larger business. Unity’s adtech products are ultimately very uninteresting. Can’t speak to sentiment about working with their core product, but if you have to sell iAds, Tapjoy, Offerwall, or Aura (their most mind numbing product) - don’t waste your time.
