Compare Ubisoft vs Rockstar Games

Pros

I'm enjoying working for Ubisoft San Francisco! We can all work fully remotely which makes our lives way easier, though I like going to the office from time to time and meet some colleagues. In the ~... 2 years I've spent working with them, I still haven't found a flow in their skills. Everyone seems to be very efficient and talented with what they do, friendly and passionate about their jobs. I feel very lucky for having been recruited there, I know how competitive the market is nowadays and how desirable is to work for a videogame company... it's a fun industry and people are nice, friendly, skilled and flexible. There are many internationals, a sign of richness and diversity. My manager is the best one I have ever had in +10 year career. Same for my team, I enjoy working with them, we overcome hurdles together and work closely to excel at what we do.

Cons

The company is huge and publishes many products every year, sometimes you can feel a little far from the core. I guess it also depends on the project you are working for, but it would be nice to see... more employee engagement efforts across the various offices. Title changes/promotions take too long sometimes. Some of our highly talented people deserve a better job title and are still waiting for it after 2/3 years. Please Ubisoft works toward a better talent retention!

Pros

Know each other that personal

Cons

That not have, I think that I don't live there
