Ubisoft reviews

-Very bad management in general -The so called “leads” have been in their positions for years, yet they lack real knowledge. There’s no point in asking them anything, they’ll always redirect you to others. Not because it’s someone else’s responsibility, but simply because they don’t care and lack any skill or info about the project. The most used catchphrase is "have you read the project's Confluence page?". -Another weird thing is that once a person is promoted to some kind of art "lead", their former artwork portfolios will vanish and it's something that happens everytime (that's in case you were lucky enough to have a lead with a portfolio.) One former lead didn't even bother to make his own screenshots, he just blatantly copy-pasted the images posted by one of the artist and used the exact same ones even though he had no real input in the final world maps. -The romanian studio has no saying in the final product. We were often told "we have to make it look pretty so that the french like it" or stuff like that.

- Poor management decisions at multiple levels, including those made by CEO Yves Guillemot and IT-level decisions. - Increased work hours, with expectations of 10-11 hour workdays becoming common. - Bureaucratic processes hindering the "fun" work environment - Cliquish and juvenile workplace culture, with an influx of inexperienced staff as many skilled professionals have departed. - Below-market salaries, estimated at 15-30% less than competitors - Frequent project reassignments due to company-wide needs, incompetency from IT VP I strongly advise against taking a job at Ubisoft IT. It is a challenging work environment characterized by toxicity. Upper management, particularly the IT VP of Engineering, appears to take pride in the animosity directed towards him from employees. In short, I recommend seeking employment elsewhere.
