Unit testing, like many other good and healthy coding practises is great. In theory. In the big mean real world frequently you're shipping things in such narrow deadlines that if you say "Hey boss, I'm going to take some time to write some wicked cool unit tests, it'll make my life easier in future because we'll know this code works!" then Boss' head will pop as it's a non-tangible improvement. Developer focused companies are great as they'll let you get away with this, but the large portion aren't.
