From the thread "Supposed Montrealian salary-fixing craziness" [quote][quote] aphoristic gamer Broad Band Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 198 I'd of course like to read Charles' take on all this, I'm sure he's got a lot of juicy info to feed us.[/quote] Charles How To Go Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Montreal, Quebec Posts: 11,880 What the fuck do you think I am? Your personal fatbabies contact? That I'll just jump in to a thread to slam the best company I've ever worked for? Sorry, not going to happen. I get paid 10k more here than any other company in Canada has offered me, and after very generous bonuses, I'm making more than I would if I'd gone in to business programming. On top of that, I've done less overtime than any place I've ever worked, and work with the best people I've ever worked with, including some of the best managers in existence. The fact that Ubisoft makes these million sellers has little to do with subsidies, and everything to do with the ridiculously high level of talent at this studio. Most of the workforce here doesn't even work on those million sellers. There's nearly 2000 people at Ubi Montreal nowadays, but at any given time there's probably not more than 400 or 500 working on the 'million sellers', which are developed concurrently. Plus, any developer will tell you, it's not numbers that make quality.[/quote] <img src="http://www.bluh.org/me3.jpg"> WTF FTW[/quote]
