Amazing culture. Employees respect each other. Not just due to grass-roots peer-to-peer respect, but mutual respect is a core piece of how leadership pushes the company forward. The executive level leadership is transparent, honest, and humble. Despite recently IPO'ing, the leadership remains long-term focused, and employee focused. They are not cutting corners, cutting benefits, or reducing the level to which they listen to the company at large.

As we grow, we are slowly learning to be a larger company. Early on, Unity was entirely engineering driven. In that world, one- or two-engineer teams would spin up to solve problems. This led to a very agile and quick moving company, but we have somewhat out grown that. For one, our problems are often too big for just one or two engineers to hop-on then hop-off. Second, we have too many engineers to avoid repeat, overlapping, or conflicting work, if they all work on whatever pops up. Overall we are headed in a good direction. We are remaining engineering & bottoms-up driven, while building infrastructure to support larger teams, and larger communication efforts. The con here is that we're still learning how to do this. How many people are needed in roles like product or program management? How do large and disjoint teams divide up giant initiatives? And, how do we balance supporting legacy systems and developing new ones?
