Outstanding professionals, disgusting management

Pros

- Excellent coleagues, bot professionally and personally - Great to know the in-and-outs of development process - Good career quickstarter

Cons

- Upper management is awfully oblivious of what's going on in the development side so they make whimsical choices that end up hindering the team - Promotions are rare... unless it's a way of having someone take more responsibilities without actually having to hire someone who knows the salary range for that position - Upper management doesn't value knowledge of the product and totally disregards motivation and showing effort - Close to zero effort to keep talented members of the team aboard, which usually ends up creating a pull effect that ends up with periods with REALLY high turnover rates - Interns get paid peanuts, no matter which department they work on

Pros

Barcelona is a nice place to live

Cons

Low salaries, low recognition, no vision, micromanagement, oligarchy instead of meritocracy. Being french is a must if you want (the few if any) promotions.

Avoid Ubisoft Barcelona

Pros

- Nice people to work with. - Great work environment, but thanks to the employees.

Cons

- Worst studio direction I have ever seen in my life. They don't take care of their employees. - Low salaries, the studio doesn't pay extra hours. - Promotions at Ubisoft Barcelona are like unicorns, and if you are promoted it doesn't mean you will have a salary increasement. Basically, they want you to take more responsibilities for the same amount of money. - They use internship people for testing while killing their professional expectations and careers. - It kills your creativity and your passion for games. - Micromanagement, a lot. - Frustation. - Leaving in Barcelona and Sant Cugat is so expensive and the studio doesn't pay enough for that.
