Pros

-Fun industry / super interesting if you're into gaming -Lots of great people to work alongside with -Conveniently located in SF proper / no need to commute to south bay -Get to travel to cool places for work (gaming conventions, etc.) -Pay is better than a startup

Cons

-High turnover (even for the bay area). Buyer beware -Senior members openly state that "we don't do trainings" despite promoting itself as a 70/20/10 company -HR is completely powerless to address systemic issues which include: -Awful work-life balance -Complete unwillingness to change process (or lack thereof) e.g. the marketing team saw a recent mass exodus, yet a senior member sent a demoralizing email out to the remaining team basically labeling the departed employees as unable to cut it -Unrealistic expectations and no support -Terrible managing of team members

Pros

There are many talented people and avid gamers at Ubisoft. They really know how to create visually appealing video games with cutting edge technology. They also know how to strike a balance between art and tech. Good at creating new IPs. Life-work balance is also very nice. Almost no overtime in years.

Cons

Most games they create are open world games which might feel a bit repetitive.
