Nice working environment but not somewhere i recommend to seniors or higher due to below market salaries and slow growth - Recensione dipendente - Senior Programmer presso Ubisoft

Very slow career growth. (2 years at junior, 4 at intermediate, 5-6 at senior Bloated dev teams that arent open to hearing ideas for a game's direction. Most major decisions are dictated by the HQ studio. You end up feeling like a cog in a machine and eventually lose interest in the product. Creativity takes a backseat to ways to get more and more money out of the player after the sale of the product. In the past youd have a creative director but now you have a committee of finiancial and engagement members that have tunnel vision on specific metrics and it makes the product much worse as a whole. modern ubisoft games introduce a lot of addictive gambling elements aimed at kids.my morals dont align with that Very Low salaries. Glass ceiling in the company if youre not a french speaker or national. A lot of french conversations on the floor even though it's supposed to be an English speaking company. Groups seem to form based on this and it factors in during performance reviews if youre very close to the french group Project bonsues are tiny. On a game released in Ubisoft' most profitable year ever, selling over 10 million units. The bonus was less than a month's (already slow) salary for a 4 year project
