Unity

People are great. Benefits are top-notch, especially for new dads. The company likes to be cutting-edge, offering a great opportunity to work on fresh tech. Customers are fun. The core business seems solid.

The release process for main products is a nightmare. The flat hierarchy and size of the engineering team make it really hard to work cross-functionally. Many roles remain unfilled around the company, there's poor communication with management, and base pay isn't competitive.

There's a focus on self-starting and empowerment; however, most successful and happy people are those who keep their heads down and don't do anything beyond their core areas.

Empowerment becomes an excuse for a lack of support. There's hypocrisy around titles: on some teams, titles are withheld because they're "going away," and on others, they're given out. Many have grandfathered titles, which makes it impossible to advance. Generally poor leadership exists at all levels.
