Pros

Ubisoft provides mentoring, training, travel opportunities, great work/life balance, family-friendly, great parties, free gym, on-site clinic, fun projects, great people, and plenty of great titles to add to your resume.

Cons

I spent 5 years working at Ubisoft Montreal actively trying to get a promotion and raise. I had clear career goals from the day I was hired until I walked out the door. Worst yet, I didn't want to leave but had no other choice due to the low wage and lack of career growth. Within 2 years at another studio, I was promoted twice and lead a team of 11 people. The terrible thing is that this is commonplace at Ubi Montreal. It's a bit of an inside joke with HR and managers that employees leave to get the money and title they want and only to return afterwards.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

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.
