Pros
Ubisoft has a lot of good people and the large majority of the top management truly and genuinely cares for them. This result in: - Relatively good salaries (depending on the various studios and departments, but generally good.) - An approach of work/life balance that has improved drastically in the past years. - Much better job stability than in all of the other major publishers in the video game industry. - Excellent perks for employees generally. - Lots of support and resources available internally. Generally, you end up with a good job, lots of opportunities in the first few years of your career, even if you generally have to go after them yourself, and generally working at Ubisoft is quite enjoyable.
Kontras
The company is in the majority lead by the same people who founded and built it 30+ years ago. It has some good aspects to it, but a lot of executive / C-level managers are slightly out of touch with the industry, and quite reluctant to embrace necessary changes, being too busy defending their established rôle. This results in a change that is very slow to happen, which can be quite frustrating and risky in a super fast-paced industry. Usually, big structural changes require the validation of high-level stakeholders and can take years to actually happen. Lots of projects and initiatives are killed because some people 'are not comfortable' with them, and in some areas of the organization, dissonant voices can quickly result in career stagnation. Ubisoft is a great company for Juniors to start their career, gain a lot of experience and opportunity, but typically struggle to keeps its super talented and promising experts with ~5 years of experience in the company. They get frustrated at the top management and the friction for everything involving change and eventually quit. While the company has evolved positively in its treatment of misconduct and harassment, a plague in the video game industry, there are still many long-time employees that are known harassers, past or present, and are protected in their position. Fidelity is valued to an extreme at Ubisoft, and sometimes trust is misplaced.
