Pros

there are none but you do get a cheap Rs. 5 chocolate every week and a Rs 120 movie ticket every 3 months. if that attracts you more then the cons this company I don't known what to say to you.

Cons

there are many. # no growth # no employee development programs # very less pay less than $200 a month # bullying/politics by management # backstabber friends # people pulling each other's leg to get ahead # unskillful management. almost none of them have a management degree they know you have a passion for games and they will exploit you for that. Beware! here is the story "I was in QA, working full time for somewhere around $170 a month or so. once I was told to play on two devices at the same time and find bugs and it was also not a request, they even bring that point out in performance review. working overtime without pay is like a compulsion bc if you won't do it they will bring that point out in performance review and you'd not be given any increments/promotion. also the salary increments are like 2% and 3% or maybe you will just get fired. the salary they give is quite low compare to other companies so what they do it keep employees on contracts to not to show it in the records. one of my co-worker was given an IMPOSSIBLE task to test a game in couple of days for FINAL submission (for the final launch) and bc it was an android game he was supposed to check the game on ALL the different kind of android phones (basically it requires a team to do it). obviously there were bugs in the game and he was later trashed by the management. Ubisoft knows gamers/developers come to join them bc of their passion for games and they just exploit them."

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.
