About Ubisoft Montreal
What is Ubisoft Montreal?
Ubisoft Montreal (montreal.ubisoft.com) is the largest game development studio within French publisher Ubisoft, founded in 1986 and home to many of the company's most iconic franchises including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, and Rainbow Six. The studio describes itself as "first and foremost a community of passionate experts brought together by a common goal: to enrich the lives of players" — and as "the world's largest video game studio" by headcount.
The studio's culture is built around three pillars: "We are bold" (creating without compromise), "We are creators" (pushing the limits of art, technology and storytelling), and "We are a community" (a "come as you are" approach that values uniqueness and celebrates collective success).
Where will I work?
Ubisoft Montreal's studio is located in Montreal, Quebec. The company operates a hybrid and flexible work arrangement: "Balance work and personal life by working from the office and from home. The best of both worlds." Ubisoft also operates multiple Canadian studios in Quebec, Saguenay, Sherbrooke, Toronto, and Winnipeg.
What is the Ubisoft Montreal team like?
Ubisoft Montreal employs thousands of game developers across animation, art, business development, game and level design, quality control, project management, programming, HR and IT — making it one of the largest game studios in the world. The studio places strong emphasis on community: regular celebrations, special events, "Warm Up" gatherings, rooftop concerts, wine tastings, year-round family activities, and famous happy hours that "have you coming back for more." The team is intentionally inclusive, with publicly stated commitments to diversity (Pride Week, Black History Month, International Women's Day) and to creating a respectful and safe work environment.
Work-Life Balance
Ubisoft Montreal offers six weeks of paid vacation per year — independent of seniority — described in their own words as "a dream come true." The studio also enforces a "right to disconnect": "When the work day is over, it's over. A clear division between work and personal time." Enhanced parental leave provides 75% of full salary for new parents, and part-time work options are available "for yourself or your projects."
