Pros
Pays great. Games are simple and standardized. Job is relatively easy. Profit sharing.

Lack of direction. Lack of passion in projects. Money is a major priority over gameplay.
- 2.0Sept 8, 2023Narrative DesignFormer Employee, more than 5 yearsMontreal, QC
Pros
was a great place to work. job security and great and talented teams working hard on ftp mobile games.
Cons
'we don't make art, we make money'. the corporate overlords who bought this company out seem to follow the 'peter thiel' school of ethics and working with others. it used to be a project failing would lead to placement on another project, now it's mass layoffs and zero fs given to the many many hard working and talented people who made them all that money. ludia is truly no more. it is JC MTL now.

Pros
You get to wear a lot of hats to learn multiple responsibilities
Cons

- 5.0Jan 26, 2023Data Analyst/Data ScientistFormer Employee, more than 3 yearsMontreal, QC
Pros
The environment, the atmosphere, the colleagues, and the culture are the best to have to grow your skills and positive feedback to improve upon or draw satisfaction from. On my sixth workplace this far and Ludia was the best place I had the privilege to work in.
Cons
Understandably there is no new game every year. Expect same project for minimum 2 years. Yes, Ludia is the most compassionate company and the place to grow, but expect 2 years minimum before the chance to work on something different.

1 - 5.0Nov 9, 2021Data ScientistFormer EmployeeMontreal, QC
Pros
Ludia prides itself in being a humane company. I did not see employees getting laid off because a game did poorly rather they are transfered to another project. Ludia will work with you to improve upon your skills and growth, both personal and technical, at great lengths unlikely to see anywhere else. I could not find more supportive, kinder, or more courteous colleagues than Ludians. The overall spirit of the people will not be encountered again anytime soon.
Cons
The only downside is you get left on the same game, same data, over and over again. There isn't a new project or a new game released once a month or even once a year so patience is required to keep doing the same thing till something different arises which can take 2 years before moving to something new.

Pros
- So many benefits to all employees - Great people in all areas of work
Cons
- It can be a lot of work, may lead to over time work
