Pros
The only advantage we used to highlight was the work-life balance. However, that perception has changed significantly due to poor management decisions. This includes not only decisions made at the executive level by Yves Guillemot but also problematic choices at the IT level by IT VP of Engineering
Cons
- Poor management decisions at multiple levels, including those made by CEO Yves Guillemot and IT-level decisions. - Increased work hours, with expectations of 10-11 hour workdays becoming common. - Bureaucratic processes hindering the "fun" work environment - Cliquish and juvenile workplace culture, with an influx of inexperienced staff as many skilled professionals have departed. - Below-market salaries, estimated at 15-30% less than competitors - Frequent project reassignments due to company-wide needs, incompetency from IT VP I strongly advise against taking a job at Ubisoft IT. It is a challenging work environment characterized by toxicity. Upper management, particularly the IT VP of Engineering, appears to take pride in the animosity directed towards him from employees. In short, I recommend seeking employment elsewhere.
