Pros

The biggest asset in Ubisoft are the people. I have talented colleagues that are truly passionate about the gaming industry. The atmosphere is really pleasant and friendly (I am referring to multiple studios in different locations I have visited). People are always opened for communication and really willing to help and contribute. Also the company culture is nice, investing in people development and getting involved in different creative events (internally and externally). I definitely recommend to anyone passionate about games to take into consideration joining Ubisoft.

Cons

A lot of politics and sometimes feels a bit chaotic
