Dynamic environment

It’s a dynamic environment but it misses clear directions. Too many decisions driven by the money factor and not the technical. High management doesn’t seem to be understand tech needs

Good job

Good and interested job, you can learn many technology and various skills. The leadership is good, HR is perfect and response ASAP. The project manager will push you, this is only problem I feel badly.

Best team

Best team i ever had. I've learned so much. And you get all their games for free on pc and good sales for console games. I wish that the company listened more to employees instead of executives.

Great company!

Great environment with many employee perks! People are welcoming and make you feel at ease. There is always someone willing to help you when needed. Also, many events hosted by the company for employees.

Casual/fun environment

Casual/relax environment. Lot of work and conciliation. Not a lot of automated tools. Have to be comfortable with excel. Do not need to dress formal to work there.

Can be much better

Need to improve its career scale as chances to be promoted are limited or not well defined. The compensation is not as competitive as the current market.

Interesting place to work at

Was fun, but hard and fast-pacedMaking the environment in which you hold your performance review as comfortable as possible goes a long way toward putting your employee at ease even before the meeting begins.Imagine yourself in your employees’ shoes. You walk into a cavernous conference room. The supervisor at the far end of a long table tells you to have a seat at the opposite end. If you would be intimidated, chances are your employee will be intimidated as well.There’s nothing wrong with using a conference room for a performance review, but sit next to the employee rather than 20 feet away and do what you can to put them at ease.

Management doesn't help you much

In my time there, if you had a problem, most of time it wouldn't be fixed. A temporary solution might be given, but no long-term permanent solution. Do not trust your managers, they will throw you under the bus.

Pros

Free games

Cons

Untrustful managers

Très bon lieu de travail je recommande

Belle ambiance entre collègues. Mon manager s’assure toujours que j’aime ce que je fais et que je grandis professionnellement.

Gang de cheap ass.

Sous payé dans un environnement toxique ou tout le monde est en compétition, où les services sont sous évalué en leur demandant toujours plus. Les RH et la direction sont inefficaces et ne sont que des yes-man sans envergure, sans reconnaissance et qui traite leur employé comme des numéros. Les niaiseries que je me suis fait dire pour ne pas payer notre temps supplémentaire ou justifier notre salaire trop bas pour la soit disant prestance de travailler pour la "UbiLife". À éviter si vous avez encore du respect pour vous même.

Quintessential work hard; play hard environment

Typical game dev environment with flexible work hours, but you are expected to put in around 10-11 hours of work a day.Great place to launch your career, but promotions and compensation adjustments do not reflect rising cost of living in Toronto.For a "fun" work environment, the company is very much bogged down by bureaucracy.Workplace culture is extremely cliquish and juvenile, common in many "young" companies. Benefits are not as appealing as other tech companies in the city. The hardest part of the job is separating work-life and personal life, as most of your colleagues will not hesitate to respond to an email after hours or during weekends. Not doing so will reflect badly on your performance. Also, difficult to move up the ladder if you do not speak French.The most enjoyable part of the job is working on a globally recognized brand and interesting product.

Pros

Interesting projects, cutting edge technology, collaborative atmosphere

Cons

Long hours, slightly discriminatory towards anglophones, corporate red tape, juvenile work culture, lack of benefits, non-responsive HR, unfriendly IT department

Unique, challenging and fun workplace unlike anything else

I worked at the Ubisoft Montreal studio for 4 months as part of an internship with the CRM team. As a software engineer with a creative streak and a need for human interaction in the workplace, this office was the definition of perfect: comfortable desk area, natural lighting, and a genuinely great balance between work and leisure.Ubisoft Montreal being a video game studio means that, by default, your work involves play. This does not mean that play becomes work, strictly speaking; an average day at work didn't feel completely like work, and that's impressive.The best part of the position I had was the connection our team had with the other teams in different departments. Marketing and customer relations are a nexus of graphic design, brand integration, data analysis and customer feedback. If you enjoy this level of interconnectivity, you'll enjoy this position.The hardest part (other than saying goodbye) was the holiday rush. Work hours became packed and long at the same time, and the stress levels can get pretty high. That being said, this is predictable and should be expected if you're aiming for a marketing-adjacent position like this one.

Pros

Employee benefits, amazing workplace

Cons

Long hours during marketing rush seasons

Avoid this place at all cost

They overwork you and they do not care how burnt out you are. They expect you to work long hours and they don't allow you to bank any of your overtime hours. When you do take a personal day, they still call you for help. The managers don't help you move up. They gossip and talk about you and pretend to be your friend. It's an awful place to work. I would not recommend this place to my friends or family. IAvoid thi

Pros

Bagel Fridays

Overwork, long hours and extremely stressful.
