Pros

Unity has a strong market position yet heavily invests in R&D.

Employees are expected to shape vision and set priorities.

Benefits are good, with flexible work hours and work-from-home options available.

The company culture is healthy, focusing on communication, transparency, and business goals.

Personally, I like the global scale of the company and the opportunities to travel from time to time.

Cons
  • Flipside of autonomy: People are inclined to add new features and work around existing issues rather than renovating core workflows (getting better recently though, with a lot of new hires).
  • Tools and infrastructures teams are under-staffed for the amount of developers.
  • Lack of HR support for the Montreal office.
Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing. Continue the effort to prioritize what to work on.
