Pros

A lot of swag and loot, wild mid-year and holiday parties (open bar, gifts, and entertainment), and a cool office environment. Fun titles to work on with a lot of global recognition. Still give it 2 stars out of 5 because Assassins Creed Valhalla is a gorgeous game.

Cons

Total compensation: standard health benefits, with low salary and sub-standard retirement/savings plans. There were two tiers of stock plans, one for regular employees (% matching up to $5000) and one for senior/elite executives. Not the best work culture: Within my first 3 weeks, I was warned of a half dozen coworkers to "never get in a car with." Big yikes. After the scandals broke, my (dominantly male ) team literally laughed off all of the mandatory sensitivity training. They still walked around the office talking about which female coworkers they would bang. Work life balance: emails and teams messages come at all times of the day or night, and while you are not obligated or expected to respond, the unwritten rule is that you must respond. Promotions are handed out in this order: French (from France), French (from Quebec), and lastly Anglophones. But hey, you have a Ubi branded baseball cap so buck up.

Pros

Pretty good work life balance if your manager is great.

Cons

Poor top management which is not facing the reality and is not supported by a HR department which does not understand how to keep people. Overall people on the floor are great and talented but poor management practises and people ruin everything.

Pros

- Opportunity to work on a big project - Friendly dev team

Cons

- Poor processes: no code review and unit test, everything is chaotic and based on crunches - Terrible planning: a lot of overtimes (not days or weeks, it can be 3-5 months) without any compensation (bonuses or days off), every milestone is done by unpaid extra dev time - Ignorant management: they treat people as speechless tools, which must work as much as they are said. - Toxic atmosphere: the team is demotivated by unfair manager's decisions and low work-life balance. Management ignores all complaints and doesn't care at all. - Enormous level of stress: developers are bullied for bugs, estimates, and logged time. If they decide to leave, this push doubles. - Structure/hierarchy: everything is dependent on only one person (producer). He is a producer, game designer, programmer, UI artist, and QA... - Low salary/benefits: Salary is below average in the UAE - Staff turnover: a lot of people left. So the company hire new employees instead of investigating the reasons and improving the situation
