Process
A recruiter reached out to set up a call with a hiring manager.
I chatted with a Senior Software Engineer briefly about his role and what his team does, and talked about my experience and past projects.
The conversation did not include questions about why I wanted to work there; it solely focused on describing my skills.
The team had a big emphasis on JavaScript, which I do not have a lot of experience in, and I think this is why I did not move on.
I'm not sure why I was selected for this particular team if it's clear from my resume that I don't have this background.
It was a friendly chat, and I learned a lot about the company.

Unity Work Experiences
- 5.0As honest as companies areSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSherman Oaks, California, United StatesJuly 19, 2021Pros: Unity is surprisingly honest and a great place to work. I don't always agree with the directions the company heads, but it feels like I have a real chance to weigh in on the conversations.Cons: Unity is a bit disorganized at times.
- 1.0Getting worse each yearSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeJuly 28, 2022Pros: Nice office and location. Compensation is okayish. Interesting stack. Flexible hours.Cons: No career progression if you don't know the "right people". Lack of documentation practices. Understaffed teams and tons of managers. Unity used to be a flat organization. Mid-managers do not add any value, just playing politics. Lots of experienced staff left, and it is hard to get information about some legacy systems. No time for learning or skills development. Most projects are poorly managed as a result of re-organization/cancelation every half of the year. Compensation becomes less competitive. Management constantly lying, creating trust issues.
- 1.0Chaotic, disorganized, and stingySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 14, 2018Pros: Work can be fun and exciting. Most times, it is overwhelming.Cons: Lack of career and salary advancement and incompetent management are great reasons to stay away from Unity. Most people also leave for those reasons. Upper management always sells exciting and impactful work as reasons to work at Unity. Unfortunately, exciting work doesn't pay rent in the SF Bay Area. And it's difficult to be excited about your work when you are always drowned in technical debt. Oh, and don't be surprised if you are expected to work crazy hours. There is no WLB. HR would probably respond to this by saying that this is not true and it's not the norm. It's a bunch of BS, really.
