Great work mates, horrible studio direction. This is not game development.

Pros

- Great people to work with - It's good to have AAA experience in your CV, it would open you some doors.

Cons

- The studio direction is not clear nor transparent. The studio has a big lack of culture and values, and the direction is one of the worst I have ever seen in my life. - Codev is frustrating, this is not game development indeed. - Promotions are rare, and salary reviews are not fair. - There's actually a very bad ambience in the studio due to these situations (low salaries, late promotions, projects with low-quality mandates, etc) - There's people leaving the studio every month. - If you want to come to Barcelona for living, you better work for mobile studios rather than for Ubisoft (better salary and conditions, Ubisoft is not paying enough for living in Barcelona) - There are some kind of a political war between people in direction that is affecting to the whole studio.

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
