Pros

- Hybrid work, - Chance for mobility - Flex office hours

Cons

- Salaries, the compensation in relation to tasks and a very expensive cost of life on this location(Annecy) makes it borderline for a Tools specialist. (lowest compensation among other French Ubi studios). - Outdated tools (not always the case as it varies from project to project, studio to studio) and old development practices which result in lengthy production times. - Management seems to be disconnected for the most part, doesn't seem to listen to their employees feedback and a lot of micromanagement which doesn't help. - They prefer to see skilled people leave and replace them than attempting to find solutions which is not reassuring. - Annecy, beautiful city BUT overcrowded for its size, the 3rd most expensive in France, excessive rents for old non maintained apartments, very low availability, everything in general is more expensive due to being touristic and close to Geneva which makes the quality of life problematic. - The office, overcrowded small offices, it feels like we are on top of each other.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
