A collection of micro-cultures

Pros

A fun and dynamic environment. Many departments including marketing have wide breadth to be individuals in fulfilling their jobs. Generally evaluated on the results of your work with little to no micromanagement.

Cons

No consistency in the culture. Some departments can be overly strict and very structured, others can be very flat with no career plan definition at all. No matter what growth is limited as most recognition and job advancement goes through the Paris office. A superstar anywhere else will face a "wine glass" ceiling. You have to speak french fluently to be seen as influential. Also, the company isn't shy in firing people.

Doesn't seem to care for its smaller studios

Pros

- Great intranet to share knowledge - Some cool IPs

Cons

- Salary is way lower compared to same position in other companies or fields (although this seems to be a general problem to the games industry) - Canada studios get all the praise, investment and focus, while smaller studios get to work on some horrible IPs (aka Imagine and Petz lines) - It seems if you don't know french or doesn't have some french heritage, you will never make to top management positions - Top management insists that employees should make creative stuff when they are between projects, but they forget that most production guys are always in a project - Business and marketing people get bigger paychecks and work normal hours, while programmers, artists, designers and testers (the guys that really put the game together) make some crazy overtime
