Pros: Passionate, intelligent people. Good benefits. Interesting work. Can have a big impact if you want to.

Cons: Morale is low, understandably, due to many rounds of layoffs, poor leadership, poor internal communication, and a lack of transparency that was common under the previous leadership. The stock price is down and still going down.

Pros: - Smaller organizations make it easier to be on high-impact projects and have access to leadership. - Great work-life balance.

Cons: - Not a very social culture

Pros: Some of the employees and engineers are amazing. Some of the incredible talent that made Unity what it is are still there.

Cons: As a long, long-time Unity user, nearly since version 1 of Unity, I was super excited to work at Unity. Unity always stood out as a company for the indie devs, your ally, your partner, to help you get past all the barriers in the industry that small players face. But I think ever since it went public, it has gradually eroded into a pure profit-growth-driven business. Leadership cares about nothing more than what will get the stock to go up in the short term. They've hired so many people from other Big Tech corporations, trying to essentially colonize original Unity culture with Big Tech corporate process and culture, and they are winning. Many Unity originals, engineers that have been there since the beginning, have left. They pushed out Joachim, the original CTO, the last Unity original and real engineer on the C-Suite, so literally Unity leadership has been entirely usurped by non-engineer business types. The only places still managing to do anything good are those places with very high-level engineers that still have substantial political weight to throw around and happen to be in a stream that can be argued to make the stock price go up in the short term. But increasingly, they must fight against a pure business side that greatly outnumbers them, with free time to play the bureaucracy game. If the narrative about their effort affecting stock price changes, they will be rug-pulled fast. Being an engineer that can do anything of value is like sitting in the middle of a circus. They are cycling through managers and product people, just trying to find any way to milk any more cash from anything in the short term. They have even, in the past year, started to cannibalize some of their own customers. Unity isn't even a good company to partner with anymore; the relationship will be predatory and extorting, tuned for short-term stock inflation however possible. It's a sad thing, but I think it's just the fate of any successful tech company. The engineers build something of value. Gradually, the company hires more and more business people until they overtake the company, then a company once driven by engineers and engineering innovation is now driven by Excel spreadsheets, trying to get the stock price to go up however it possibly can to let the current round of business people get a decent cash out on their stock options before jumping companies again every 3-ish years or so. Even worse, in recent months, in response to sweeping corporate policy changes, they've actually taken to firing people on the spot who disagree with leadership. A few of these got out in the news, but there have been dozens of them. They were not all justified. Internal Slack and communication has become much more shut down compared to what used to be a very open and communicative company. Increasingly, it is only "Yes Men" saying anything out in the open. The business crowd that's usurped all controls of the company are playing a hardball game of thrones with power. A bunch of engineering-illiterate suits, super, super paranoid that people will figure out what they are and call them out on it, are now sitting at the top, terrified, trying to milk whatever nonsense they can for another stock payout or bit of nonsensical media attention.
