Our Office

Unity Bellevue is located on the 9th & 10th floors of one of the newest buildings in Bellevue: Lincoln Square South. Every office space is bordered with large windows, so you’ll always be able to enjoy a great view of the city- regardless of where you sit!

Who we are:

The office is home to over 300 employees on a variety of teams. Some of our largest groups include: Graphics, XR, UX, AI & Machine Learning, Security, Cloud, Monetization, Infrastructure, Finance, Recruiting, and HR. One of the great things about there being so many different teams is that you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make friends and meet colleagues from other departments, so you can easily learn more about all aspects of the company!

Our office is easily accessible with a nearby parking garage and bike rack. We have a lot of cool amenities and perks such as endless supplies of snacks, drinks on tap and daily catered lunches featuring a different cuisine everyday.

What do we do for fun?

Around lunch time and toward the end of the day, it’s not uncommon to find employees playing video games or shuffleboard in our game room and lounge space. Super Smash Bros. is pretty popular here!

Our Workplace Experience team hosts a variety of unique office events, such as: monthly board game nights, happy hours, culinary classes, and celebrations of company accomplishments and holidays. Even while we are working remotely, our Workplace Experience team has been coming up with creative ways to keep our community going strong.

We have a Community Outreach Committee comprised of employees from different teams around the company who work together to plan interactive community tech-talks and workshops with local creators.
