Svantaggi
Very low wages. They're aware of this and they struggle to attract and maintain senior developers. As newcastle is seen as a cheap place internationally they drop everybody's wages compared to people doing the same job in another studio. The creative direction of more than 90% of their games is controlled by a few people in france and this results in a lot of games being generic boring open world experiences. In fact many developers including myself won't play the modern ubisoft games being released. Reflections is seen as an outsourcing studio within ubisoft to implement vehicles which can grow tiresome. Bad management and bloated development teams can result in successful and popular releases still being considered a financial failure resulting in no bonuses. Career Progression is extremely slow compared to other companies.There is also a glass ceiling for none-french employees in the company.
