Pros

Pretty good work life balance if your manager is great.

Cons

Poor top management which is not facing the reality and is not supported by a HR department which does not understand how to keep people. Overall people on the floor are great and talented but poor management practises and people ruin everything.

Pros

- Opportunity to work on a big project - Friendly dev team

Cons

- Poor processes: no code review and unit test, everything is chaotic and based on crunches - Terrible planning: a lot of overtimes (not days or weeks, it can be 3-5 months) without any compensation (bonuses or days off), every milestone is done by unpaid extra dev time - Ignorant management: they treat people as speechless tools, which must work as much as they are said. - Toxic atmosphere: the team is demotivated by unfair manager's decisions and low work-life balance. Management ignores all complaints and doesn't care at all. - Enormous level of stress: developers are bullied for bugs, estimates, and logged time. If they decide to leave, this push doubles. - Structure/hierarchy: everything is dependent on only one person (producer). He is a producer, game designer, programmer, UI artist, and QA... - Low salary/benefits: Salary is below average in the UAE - Staff turnover: a lot of people left. So the company hire new employees instead of investigating the reasons and improving the situation

Pros

- CV - A lot of good people at mid/junior positions - The city is fantastic - An opportunity to get in touch with some great professionals from Paris or US offices.

Cons

- Extremely toxic atmosphere: all complaints and promising suggestions are ignored and the responsibility (and literally blame) is being relayed to mids and juniors. - Very poor planning. Countless hours of overtime working with no compensation and constant blaming for everything. - Incorrect evaluation of the studio capabilities: people with no relevant experience are forced to work on the top budget products (Producers who are neither gamers nor has ever developed a project of the similar scope, Lead Programmers with zero Unity experience etc.) - A lot of decisions are being taken solo by the Lead Producer with no regards to the advise from more experienced people and the research they did. Both in data, programming, marketing and game design. - This is not The Ubisoft. It does not feel like The Ubisoft who develops great games and moves the industry forward.
