Unity

Most of the pros have vanished into thin air, but Unity is still a viable resume filler.

The product itself has gotten so bad (in places) that Unity is willing to offer you a great bribe if hiring you makes it look like they care.

The best part: having people 'correct' your opinions online by posting over-the-top fake reviews. Thanks so much, HR!

Actually, it's better than Activision, minus the pay if you're coming from overseas to work here.

Office Bullies: You basically have people who are there because they know the founders, who have promised to lash out against anyone who wants a life or decent pay, who can't read a technical paper or even finish a student-level project but are convinced they're the source of cutting-edge knowledge. Your experience may vary based on your level of Twitter fame, whiteness, and what team you're on.

Backstabbing: In order to attract more people, Unity is now going over the heads of the people who made it what it is and handing out made-up job titles and big money to e-celeb programmers. No longer based on merit, the Copenhagen office is ironically some of the poorest-paid, most talented people in the business.

The past year has had seniors and people who've been here since the beginning decrying the horrid state things are in, with absolutely no improvement. It's been a dramatic and tumultuous time. You wouldn't know this on the outside because people spend so much time lying about it through social media.

Teams are broken up to make it easier to whip them into working constantly, or just because someone wants to own it. Goodbye, safe workspace; hello, divorce papers (because we're all so busy "volunteering" our time, it certainly doesn't pay).

When people said an EA CEO would ruin the company culture, they were only partially right. He was hired by the founders and stakeholders precisely because he doesn't care about anyone or anything but making a profit at the expense of the product, the people, and the customers. His ideas were the most generic "Let's copy that rich company" kind of concepts you could imagine: 'Let's add Coca-Cola ads into the middle of people's deep indie game', 'Let's sell everyone's data', 'Let's troll for patents despite leaving our engine in the dust technologically', 'Let's ignore the women that keep disappearing from our technical teams that half of the company knows were harassed'. His attitude reflects all of the higher-ups, and his attempt at engaging the loss of culture has been laughably out of touch.

From senior management telling me that females corrupt company culture, and stories I've heard on the grapevine, don't join as a programmer if you're a woman. They're feminists on Twitter and misogynists in the office.

Management doesn't take advice. That's why they spend all day on Twitter doing damage control instead of establishing a single point of ethical behavior or a genuine interest in the product. I'm hoping more people ditch the slave mentality to work together on replacing Unity.
