Avoid Ubisoft Barcelona

Pros

- Nice people to work with. - Great work environment, but thanks to the employees.

Cons

- Worst studio direction I have ever seen in my life. They don't take care of their employees. - Low salaries, the studio doesn't pay extra hours. - Promotions at Ubisoft Barcelona are like unicorns, and if you are promoted it doesn't mean you will have a salary increasement. Basically, they want you to take more responsibilities for the same amount of money. - They use internship people for testing while killing their professional expectations and careers. - It kills your creativity and your passion for games. - Micromanagement, a lot. - Frustation. - Leaving in Barcelona and Sant Cugat is so expensive and the studio doesn't pay enough for that.

Pros

- Mostly great people working there - Great company culture - Give a chance to junior people to get their foot in the door - Good on-boarding process - Opportunities to travel internationally (depending on your role) - Convenient SOMA location

Cons

- Very low pay, not competitive with Bay Area standards - Executive management doesn't seem to know the direction they want to take and how to lead the ground troops (or doesn't communicate it well). Middle management seems to do more for the company - Poor benefits package - Almost no perks, especially considering what other Bay Area companies offer - Work-life balance can get a bit iffy - A pro that sometimes turns into a con: they will not fire employees unless there is a very serious reason. Low performing employees will be given opportunities to prove themselves valuable in whatever small capacity. However, low performing employees who manage to stick around for a long time may end up being promoted by default, resulting in incompetent people in leadership or management positions
