Pros

Its easy to get in the door when they are hiring temp agents for busy seasons and if you are good enough you can be converted to full time within a year in some cases. Schedules can be flexible if you can prove you are a top agent.

Cons

Low opportunity for real growth. Its not a place you should invest a lot of time and effort in to. You can work your butt off to get a higher position for very little pay off in terms of pay raises. Most of the higher positions up from a basic support agent have more responsibility but very little increased pay. Its best to get what you can out of the job and then move on as soon as you get a better opportunity.

Pros

- Ubisoft as a company has a good culture, but your mileage will vary based on the department you end up in - The neighborhood is cool, there's plenty of cool restaurants and shops around - Salaries are competitive for the Montréal Market - Internal mobility has a lot of positions open and applying to other positions is easy - You can spend you entire career there if you want, people rarely get fired and the jobs are stable

Cons

Regarding Engineering & Platform: - Lots of red tape - They expect the backend devs they hire to be SREs, so know Ops, possibly be on call - Toxic atmosphere, it feels like the employees are scared to speak their mind - Orwellian levels of gaslighting from the managers/directors, their own shortcomings and mistakes will never be acknowledged and their impact greatly diminished. They will put the blame on you or find another scapegoat. - Abnormally high amount of turnover & burnouts compared to the rest of Ubisoft - Claims to care about mental health but will antagonize you at every opportunity - Teams work in Silos and are expected to depend on each other, magically - Constant scope changes, chasing a moving target - Directors are most probably sociopaths Regarding Ubisoft: - HR has no teeth to investigate toxic behavior - Directors are either untouchable or don't care about other misbehaving directors - Lots of internal politics

Pros

Cool events and swag, not enough to justify the cons.

Cons

- Extremely LOW salary, wlb does not justify their poverty wages. - Not inclusive culture, Ubisoft is not as inclusive as it thinks it is especially to women, minorities, non-French speaking workers and POC. - High turnover rates, people leave in droves. - Lots of cancelled projects if you don’t work on core teams. - Abusive management
