Pros

exciting industry, tons of opportunities (not just in Unity, overall). They have some solid engineers and managers.

Cons

Low pay.

Hiring bar varies from team to team, even time to time. You might end up working with someone with low productivity but high ego.

Also, keep in mind that different orgs are like different universes. R&D only cares about Unity Engine, Ads is like its own company, and Services is like the middle child that no one cares about.

Advice to Management

We need stronger leadership. If there is a clear direction or goal every org should be working towards, the CEO and CTO need to advocate it over and over again, in every all-hands meeting.

And to keep good people, pay them above market rate. When most good people leave, whoever is left behind is either forced to stay due to family or other reasons – they won't work hard – or they are the source of the problem itself, and they will drive good people out.
