Pros
After transitioning over from the tech industry this was my first job in the games industry. They offered me a level 2 position and allowed me to spend some time upfront learning the ropes. Some of the benefits were also pretty good, particularly 6 weeks of vacation, an onsite medical clinic, and personal trainers at the company gym. And I guess it's a plus that I was never asked to crunch (live game).
Cons
The technical onboarding consists of being sent a giant folder of links to documentation that is old and often wrong. Finding the right way to run the development environment and debug Ubisoft's internal tools was challenging, and since I didn't come in as a level 1, at some point their patience abruptly ran out. Apparently a learning curve is not tolerated if it's not your first job out of university. I eventually did find a solid rhythm for completing tasks, but I was frequently criticized by my manager for asking questions (not "help I don't know anything solve this for me" questions, more like "I've diagnosed the issue and found a potential solution, but I'd like your opinion on my approach before wasting time implementing code that will get rejected in review" questions). So I was submitting quality code that was OK'd quickly by fellow programmers, but put on my manager's shitlist because I wasn't enough of a lone wolf. It's the total opposite of most work environments I've been in, very weird. I have to add that on top of this frustrating work experience, the compensation was below industry standard (although better than before for new hires it seems), and the company tended to have a cheap attitude about many things, compared to other companies where I've worked. Expect to pay yourself for things that you might have expected to be covered at other jobs (coffee, cutlery, transportation to special company events). Also expect regular ads in your work email for you to buy stuff from your employer, like you're a customer, not an employee.
