      Pros

      Personally my teammates were very sweet, as a contractor I was not allowed to participate in most full time events.

      Cons

      Inconsiderate towards people with mental and physical health issues, I was forced to return to the office to keep my job, despite all my concerns with returning, as well as over an hour commute with no bonus/compensation/increase pay to help with transition. Shortly after the return to the office, 3 weeks to be exact, I was informed day of that I was getting laid off. This was also in the middle of an HR investigation after providing medical documents to the staffing agency I was with. They claimed my layoff was because they had to reduce headcount, I have no way of knowing. Higher ups and HR were always very short and acted as though they didn't want to help anyone with any of their problems, and everything was always out of everyone's control. Lack of communication all around across projects and teams and the company as a whole. It really was a negative environment. Really inconsiderate and unprofessional with the way everything was handled as well.

          Flexible, work-life-balance and a great group of people! Transparency and culture are number one.

          Not many to name. Owned by Ubisoft with a HQ in France can be challenging but internal team is amazing!

                Cons

                Slow steady growth, although it means job security and stability, also means very slow to promote or move anywhere significantly up the chain

                  Working under the Ubisoft umbrella can sometimes be a bit crowded.

                      Some people have been there for a very long time, fresh blood would be great. But it's also a sign that it's a great place to stay.

                        Great Work Life Balance. Pay is reasonable. Benefits are great. Management does care about the people working for them.

                        Cons

                        Completely at the mercy of Ubisoft corporate. Watched multiple great ideas at the studio end up getting developed by other Ubisoft studios without Red Storm.

                      I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.

                      I was promised a decision made by mid last week. I followed up on Thursday last week and got a response the update is now followed up with the hiring manager and their director and expect hear back by middle of next week. What should I be expecting if it’s delayed on promised update timeline from the hiring manager interview?
