Mature CI/CD processes Working in one of the many teams that contribute to a project Learning to work with people from different disciplines

Cons

Stubborn directors that don't listen to developer feedback Conflicting instructions and opinions from different studios, affecting project direction and progress Competent mid/senior level programmers compensating for the incompetent ones Promotion by years of service, rarely by merit, can be affected based on whether your manager likes you personally No bonuses/CVB

Pros

Good place to get some experience, but nothing more.

Cons

After years at Ubisoft, in both IT and Studio departments, I've seen a trend of mismanagement and directionless leadership. The main issue is with the department directors, often inexperienced and showing questionable decision-making skills, especially in IT. Working conditions deteriorated, leading to the downfall of promising products and the exit of skilled colleagues. Despite the toxic environment and poor leadership, I managed to focus on side projects, ironically receiving full bonuses for minimal effort. However, the mass layoff of over a hundred employees just before Christmas, paired with extravagant parties, highlighted the company's mismanagement. For those considering Ubisoft, especially in Montreal, better opportunities await in smaller, more dynamic companies.

Pros

You get to work with great, talented, and passionate people.

Cons

The company is run by accountants who have no sense of loyalty. People are treated as disposable numbers. The company will only change if it has received bad PR, but even so, their efforts are mere lip service.
