I kind of fell into Unity on my way out of the VFX industry. It's like night and day... a work environment that fosters creativity and technical excellence, but understands that the goal is to get tools into artists hands. The "democratizing game development" philosophy comes from inside Unity and is practiced daily at all levels.
I've never been treated so well as an employee.

The process of getting code into the final product can sometimes be frustrating, but the end result is usually better quality, so in the end, it's worth it.

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast.
-CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand.
-Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage.
-Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.
