Pros

A lot of swag and loot, wild mid-year and holiday parties (open bar, gifts, and entertainment), and a cool office environment. Fun titles to work on with a lot of global recognition. Still give it 2 stars out of 5 because Assassins Creed Valhalla is a gorgeous game.

Cons

Total compensation: standard health benefits, with low salary and sub-standard retirement/savings plans. There were two tiers of stock plans, one for regular employees (% matching up to $5000) and one for senior/elite executives. Not the best work culture: Within my first 3 weeks, I was warned of a half dozen coworkers to "never get in a car with." Big yikes. After the scandals broke, my (dominantly male ) team literally laughed off all of the mandatory sensitivity training. They still walked around the office talking about which female coworkers they would bang. Work life balance: emails and teams messages come at all times of the day or night, and while you are not obligated or expected to respond, the unwritten rule is that you must respond. Promotions are handed out in this order: French (from France), French (from Quebec), and lastly Anglophones. But hey, you have a Ubi branded baseball cap so buck up.

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.
