Got some updates today that unity got hiring freeze. Seems just happened and lots of uncertainty, unsure if it’s company wide or how long it will last though. Could folks at unity share more details or confirm if it’s true? Tc 220
It was announced that hiring is slowing down to achieve a profitable Q4
Yeah, not true. Still hiring but shifted our growth from 50+% to 25%.
I had a really positive and quick moving set of interviews a couple of weeks ago that resulted in them telling me they want to move forward with an offer. But that was before the quarterly and we've had two delayed offer meetings since then. At this point I am waiting on HR to follow up again. I'm hoping for the best, felt like a great fit and opportunity. But between the market and these type of post, I really don't know what to think.
Know of someone that was also in the hiring process that did really well but the recruiter mentioned that there was not further steps at the moment due to a lot going on internally.
Can confirm. Was waiting for a next interview to be scheduled. Told the role was being retooled.
It’s open only to some departments, unity is planning to save some money.
Really? My org is still hiring
My org is freeze, and soon reorganization is coming to fill gaps . That’a the reality.
Did great in my interviews, team really wants me. This was a few weeks ago. Recruiter informed me the bad quarter resulted in a company-wide hiring freeze as of a week-ish ago, and doesn’t know how long it might last.
We have certain roles that were far along in interview process go away but others are still open. Sounds like for new HC/backfill that weren’t yet in the process teams are evaluating which roles can go away as well. I would say maybe not the best time to come to Unity - especially for Operate team.

1 vs 5 Million - no lifestyle change
Not true at all. We plan on expanding by 25% according to CEO. My team has like six open positions.
Thanks for update! That's weird but I guess good news for me. I was told that I did pass the onsite but position was paused.. and I could bypass some rounds if there's other opening positions Maybe it's just the team/org/location I applied for got hiring freeze. Feel sad about this volatile market and I really like that team:(
25% is the expand for the whole year. Actually in the first quater, we already hired a lot of people who can make a big portion of the 25% including me. There may be not too many positions left for the rest of the year. Also last week, our hiring of one position was put on hold in our team.
