RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Ubisoft full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Stable and experienced teams that constantly ship titles. Relaxed and low key atmosphere until it comes time to ship but certainly not a "100 hour a week" company.
Cons
Egos can get a little out of control on some of the bigger titles, but for the most part, the people in general are good to work with and down to earth.
Advice to Management
Trust the people to do the jobs you hired them for.

- Huge company means a lot of redundant projects being worked on by different departments.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Ubisoft full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Good benefits, interesting variety of projects, great technology, good location, flexible working hours, great parties, they accept personal parcels to be delivered at work despite employing 2000+ people
Cons
Hard to escalate the professional ladder; too political; teams are like tribes that compete against each other; being versatile is under-valued compared to knowing 1 thing deeply.
Advice to Management
Stop promoting always the same people; hiring women is not enough to cater for gender diversity if they are not allowed the chances to get promoted equally; promoting less experienced people does hurt a production; don't put all your eggs in one basket and encourage the spread of knowledge
