Ubisoft reviews

All the other reviews are dead on. Politically charged with completely out of touch and inept management. The management is failing investing in weak products and poor direction. There is far too many levels of oversight and bureaucracy and little recognition. Most of all, there's a ceiling where you must speak french to be promoted. It is a terrible place to work where people smile at you and then maneuver to take credit for your work. Especially in the studios its barely better than third world labor. People are treated like cattle and incompetent middle managers take all the credit while deflecting blame on to others. There are tremendous failures that would embarrass any other company, but it seems that managers always just get promoted. They are no longer in any position to actually acquire quality talent. Once they run their IPs of Assassin's Creed and Just Dance into the ground this company will be lined up for bankruptcy.

- 5 days on-site is coming - low pay, low benefits, no raises, no bonuses - they offered stock benefits of a maximum of like $120. Why even bother. That will be worth $20 in a year anyways - they say the new structure is meant to give control and autonomy to the "creative houses" on one hand, while still dictating everything on the other hand - insane nepotism - ceo disconnected from reality - they try to avoid bad headlines by doing sporadic small layoffs and randomly firing people throughout the year. To be clear, they're not done with layoffs yet no matter what they tell us. And they lie about work shortages, there's so many projects that need more people but just aren't allowed to onboard any more people (who already work at the company) to make the project's budget look better on paper - it's hard to trust management when they allow pre-alpha projects to experiment and innovate but never greenlight any of it, only want to ship more of the same old. Too many projects just failing milestones and going nowhere. - pipelines are stuck in the past and super inefficient with today's complexity and fidelity standards, every project has the same feedback on this stuff but clearly nothing will ever change - longtime ubisoft people only know how to make giant bloated fragmented open world ubisoft games, can't even comprehend anything else - weird in house engines, weirdest part is that there's still more than one - different cities being treated as entirely separate companies is out dated, everyone working on a project should be treated as one unified team but you're treated like external partners if you're not the lead studio - MS Teams
