Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Ubisoft full-time (More than a year)
Pros
- Get to work on AAA games
- Flexible hours
- Healthcare & ergonomy service
- RRSP group system
-gym
-Epic christmas and summer parties.
-good integration of new employees
-there are lot of seniors,so its a perfect opportunity to learn for juniors
-beautiful and convenient workspace
-good bonusesCons
- follow trends and recycle proven formulas instead of trying to innovate.they lack vision and the games seems to stagnate into irrelevancy.
-Ubisoft has difficulty to make team collaborate between themselves, because theres too much inner competition.
- Lots of politics and Toxic leadership.
- boys club still exist at top hierarchy of production.
- Lack of honest communication.
- Backstabbing culture.
- Most skilled and talented workers are moving to other companies.
-if you arent part of the ''gang'', you may get left behind for a promotion or bonuses.
- not a lot of ownership as the teams are so big.you may lost the hand if you stay there many years...so,it's not the greatest place to learn and grow at long term.
- not a lot of opportunity to evolve and get another position.if theres some,
you have to figh of else HR will make sure that you stay there.
-management is not really good at helping career growth.
-low salaries that really dont increase that much...
- they dont paid for overtime.at least they pay your supper...
- Depending on project ,lack of management.
-Some people just do only the minimum for their job or don't do their 8h per day.theres even people that don't do their job..
-Located in the middle of the city and the realm of pedestrians.finding a parking is like chasing an unicorn. good. luck.
-basically, you're a number...Advice to Management
theres lots of inexperimented managers that switch teams after few months.they also lack of honest communication.of course,all that isnt the best for our evaluations.oh, and in top of that, they like to experiment BAD things like micro management.Please be careful to hire good managers who will understand people on productions.For example,hire at least someone who got experience in 3D for a graphic team.I have a friend graduated from HEC who told me that anyone with a diploma at HEC can get a management job really easily at ubisoft...
