Ubisoft Project Manager reviews

Very bad work / personal life balance. If you are working on the production of any game, you will definitely will have to work extra hours, especially near the shipping of a game. It can sometimes be forbidden to take vacation during the last two months of production of a game. I often stayed late at night and some people even come during weekends. Also, you have unlimited sick days, but for me it was almost impossible to take them, because of how many meetings I had that I could not cancel + you have to tell everyone the reason why you are taking a sick day. Everything is going really fast, so I was really stressed and felt pressure from the direction.

This company is about using the "video game" cool factor to suck any drop of energy of yourself for the minimum possible salary. They hire people only on short term contract to keep the pressure super high ( don't complain or you ll loose your job) Teams are overworked, managers promises bonuses that never come at the end, extra hours are promised to be paid yet never show up and as soon as you raise concerns about all this you are in a very dire position. - Almost ended up to go to court with them. Most of "producers" are just there because they have been sticking long enough, so called "super star" creative directors tend to be super dicks more than anything else.... Go there to put the name on your resumé and leave ASAP
