Ubisoft Reviews

Worked at the Ubisoft Singapore office. It's all happy and fun times on the surface level, but when you stop and take a look around you, you'll notice that this place has been enveloped by a miasma of racism and misogyny. They pride themselves in having a multi-cultural crew. This is true, having employed people from a wide variety of countries. But this is just that - a statistic. Only one out of the ten or so top dogs and decision makers is actually local or from Singapore. Everyone else is a white, male French. There have been instances where the same bros were accused of harassing a junior employee. Said person was then relegated to another position, and was even considered to be promoted, just at another office in another country. This is just one of many incredibly degrading decisions made in this company swept under the rug and guised under the pretense of "we are a family" and "we are inclusive". Inclusivity and Familial bonds only exist for Frenchmen in this company. Skull & Bones, the game the studio has been working on has been a literal shipwreck for the past 8-10 years. Despite what the PR is saying to the public, it has been a game plagued (it still is) with management failures, indecisions, talent bleeding out and poached, and low team morale. I sincerely hope you think many, many times before joining this company, especially this studio. I have no ill will towards any of my former colleagues, they are the most talented people I've met, but its unfair that they are forced to remain in this sinking hole due to circumstance.

The politics are incredible. Your skills account for 10% of your performance during the yearly review. The remaining 90% is dependent on who you are friendly with and who hates you. If a manager in the studio (not necessarily your manager) does not like you, he will find all sorts of excuses to have you fired. He will try to convince other managers that you are difficult to work with and if a majority of them speak out against you, you're out. On the flip side, if you're best buddies with your manager, he can find reasons to rally the other managers to his side and give you a promotion. Some have been promoted this way.
