They have TONS of fat to trim

I used to work there. I was appalled by how many people in the company spent company time in slack chats about controversial political issues (as if they would persuade someone with divergent values).

While I was working, I saw various slack channels filled with a constant stream of political chats. I thought "What the hell is everyone else doing while I have my head down and I am working?!"

I resigned after 3-4 months. I found it to be "clown world" inside Unity.

I've never worked at a midsize or larger company that didn't have several highly politicized individuals posting to slack seemingly all day.
To be fair, what you consider political chat could be quite innocent talk to someone else. I was once called a communist activist for proposing making 2-sided default on the printer.

But yes, unity as a company has somre problems.
