Pros: My general point would be: If you see a position that strikes your interest, definitely follow through the interview process at least until you have had a chance to talk to the potential future team. You will get honest answers and a good impression of the job. I have been impressed from the start by the company's approach. * **Engineers first:** In our team, we are trusted to make our own decisions and drive our product area. Some people prefer work that is packaged, specced out fully, and presented ready to act on, but for myself, I value more this team-driven product approach. We anticipate, prioritize, and pick up the pieces of work that we decide are most valuable or necessary. * **Effective PMs:** I have been in companies where PMs push feature upon feature without considering team impact, cost, end result, and value. Here, our PM asks all the right questions and is really a bridge with various teams we build our product for. This really makes a big difference in keeping engineers out of long meetings. * **Work culture is fully Scandinavian.** You shine through work delivered, not hours at the office. I felt this was shown further in how fast the company effectively transitioned to WFH early in the Covid-19 pandemic, including in the US. * **Actually, that is a point by itself.** The management team shined on the pandemic response: quick communication, open questions and answers, clear tactics, and fast delivery of physical support across all offices. Over the past year, you can see the effects of rapid growth on the company. Unity, and especially the management teams, are really aware of the value of the original company culture. It might have changed since its inception (according to conversations with long-time employees), but coming from a mega-corp, I saw things that really appealed to me in their approach. I feel more valued and considered as an engineer, and that has had a big impact on my daily life. The interview process was very personal: direct, open conversation with the team and various bits of management. There were no technical interview questions, but instead conversations about my previous experience, and some questions from me on the product and team I would be working with.

Cons: My experience might have been positive, but I have also heard from other engineers who are disillusioned by their managers or even the company's response to some of their requirements or concerns. My advice would be to really prod about the team during the interview. The company is shifting gears as it grows in size, and some of the usual corporate stuff starts to seep in, in what I would describe as "United States-isation". The management communicates well about their intentions behind everything, but in the end, we still end up stuck with job levels, like any other tech company, for example.

Pros: You will learn what software practices to avoid. There are some talented engineers hidden behind poor management.

Cons: Communication comes from all directions, and there is no source of truth. Documentation on code, practices, infrastructure, etc., is either 5-7 years old or nowhere to be found. Their use of contractors and cheap engineers has led to spaghetti code bases that have bandaids on top of bandaids.

Pros: - Many happy hours - Private health care - Great people

Cons: - Must work 3 days from the office, and is very strict about that. - Only 16 days off. - Needs to hire highly skilled managers instead of promoting employees with no experience in management at all. - 40 NIS per day for food.
