Pros

– Best parties in town. Period. – Doctor on site. – Free bagels at the end of the month. – Great insurance similar to all my previous employers. – Nice people in general.

Cons

– No possible evolution. Forget it, you can't evolve UNLESS you have friends that have high positions such as directors and producers. – Low wage compared to the industry and Montreal digital industry. – High possibility that you won't get an annual raise. They didn't give me a raise two years in a row, but every time they promised both times that it would change the next year. I didn't trust them anymore and I quit – Employees are treated like numbers, not like humans. – Lot of unpaid overtime. – Some managers scream at people and HR don't do anything. – HR actually don't help employees, or at least, not that I'm aware. – Management don't care about your interest and the skills you'd like to develop. – Most managers never studied in management and don't know how to manage people. – Way too many politics. It's crazy! – It's open space which was a killer for me, but I've seen people enjoying all the noise.

Pros

- Get to work on AAA games - Flexible hours - Healthcare & ergonomy service - RRSP group system -gym -Epic christmas and summer parties. -good integration of new employees -there are lot of seniors,so its a perfect opportunity to learn for juniors -beautiful and convenient workspace -good bonuses

Cons

- follow trends and recycle proven formulas instead of trying to innovate.they lack vision and the games seems to stagnate into irrelevancy. -Ubisoft has difficulty to make team collaborate between themselves, because theres too much inner competition. - Lots of politics and Toxic leadership. - boys club still exist at top hierarchy of production. - Lack of honest communication. - Backstabbing culture. - Most skilled and talented workers are moving to other companies. -if you arent part of the ''gang'', you may get left behind for a promotion or bonuses. - not a lot of ownership as the teams are so big.you may lost the hand if you stay there many years...so,it's not the greatest place to learn and grow at long term. - not a lot of opportunity to evolve and get another position.if theres some, you have to figh of else HR will make sure that you stay there. -management is not really good at helping career growth. -low salaries that really dont increase that much... - they dont paid for overtime.at least they pay your supper... - Depending on project ,lack of management. -Some people just do only the minimum for their job or don't do their 8h per day.theres even people that don't do their job.. -Located in the middle of the city and the realm of pedestrians.finding a parking is like chasing an unicorn. good. luck. -basically, you're a number...
