Pros: I've been at Unity for over 3 years now and witnessed the explosive growth.
We did a good job of hiring smart, nice folks, at least in my team.
People come to work wanting to do better.
We are playing catch-up when it comes to process, due to the fast growth.
C-suite seems to know what they are doing.
The strategy outlined when I started was executed (except for the Analytics org).
I'm very excited about Unity's future.
Cons: Based on the comments on Blind and Glassdoor:
We made a few mistakes hiring people who have no interest or business being there. This could become a serious problem for Unity and impact the company culture.
