Pros

Great benefits (commute reimbursement, free meals 3x a week), good total compensation, chill colleagues and work environment, great office, and interesting projects.

Cons

The previous head of management made inexplicable mistakes post-IPO and put the company in the precarious position it is in today.

The new interim CEO's job was to cut aggressively to save money. The result might have saved the company in the short term, but long-term damage remains to be seen.

Thankfully, he wants to go back to what Unity did best: develop the most versatile game engine in the world. Maybe there's a chance Unity gets back on the right track, but I won't hold my breath.

Overall:

  • Bad management track record
  • Old CEO out, but some bad apples remain
  • New management is a mixed bag
  • Uncertain future
Advice to Management

The C-level executives need to take responsibility and do something about their failures over the past years. Either step down, hire good counsel, or listen to your employees. Try something new. Otherwise, you'll have squandered the golden goose eggs.
