Pros

Ubisoft Singapore has, in the past, collaborated with other studios to create AAA games like the Assassin's Creed franchise. Great learning experience working on AAA titles.

Cons

The politics are incredible. Your skills account for 10% of your performance during the yearly review. The remaining 90% is dependent on who you are friendly with and who hates you. If a manager in the studio (not necessarily your manager) does not like you, he will find all sorts of excuses to have you fired. He will try to convince other managers that you are difficult to work with and if a majority of them speak out against you, you're out. On the flip side, if you're best buddies with your manager, he can find reasons to rally the other managers to his side and give you a promotion. Some have been promoted this way.

Pros

- Nice people. Most ppl have good attitude to work with. - Biggest game company in Singapore. - Good work and life balance, flexible hours. - High quality standard, always industry benchmark AAA titles. - Project has strong marketing and brand IP.

Cons

- Future is uncertain, project constantly change direction. - Management is not transparent, one hand claims everything is awesome, another hand is downsize the team. - Political, whoever talks the most or loudest gets to be heard. If you speak French you will got bonus influence. - Low pay, downgrade rank title, no career path. If you are French pay is much higher. - High turnover (both local and expat colleagues have high turn over rate). - The satellite studio Philippines and Chengdu studios making the Singapore most costly one. Production work has slowly shifted and leaving the employees with uncertain future in Singapore.
