Pluspunten

Good place to get some experience, but nothing more.

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Minpunten

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
