Pros

- CV - A lot of good people at mid/junior positions - The city is fantastic - An opportunity to get in touch with some great professionals from Paris or US offices.

Cons

- Extremely toxic atmosphere: all complaints and promising suggestions are ignored and the responsibility (and literally blame) is being relayed to mids and juniors. - Very poor planning. Countless hours of overtime working with no compensation and constant blaming for everything. - Incorrect evaluation of the studio capabilities: people with no relevant experience are forced to work on the top budget products (Producers who are neither gamers nor has ever developed a project of the similar scope, Lead Programmers with zero Unity experience etc.) - A lot of decisions are being taken solo by the Lead Producer with no regards to the advise from more experienced people and the research they did. Both in data, programming, marketing and game design. - This is not The Ubisoft. It does not feel like The Ubisoft who develops great games and moves the industry forward.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
