As I' m sommersaulting and slashing my way through waves and waves of Zombies, I come to realize that Ubisoft was a very important part of my gaming experiences this gen. I have been a spy 3 games in a row as well as the leader of a counter-terrorist squad, I have made my way to Hill 30 with my Brothers in Arms and I' m currently trying to avenge the death of my father in Prince of Persia.
I have a sour love story with the UBI studios here in Montreal, while I have only discovered them with the Xbox, I made the necessary to be hired as a full time tester over there. I went through the whole interview process where I had to find the differences in two similar pictures as well as identify all buttons, thumbstocks and D-pads for ALL consoles. After that, I had a one-on-one interview that I think went pretty well...
The guy waited 3 weeks to call me back, but he did, he delivered the good news and gave me a date for training day. I only stayed two days and I quit. :( That was 8 months ago.
I wasn' t feeling well at the time and the work environnement was too dense, the people I was paired with weren' t very likeable at first either. I should have given them a shot though...
Anyways, while applying I also filed for beta test, and they have called me back for the third time to come and give my impressions on FarCry Instincts for Xbox!!! I am very excited as this could be my chance to go back there and maybe get this dream job again. For the moment, I am only scheduled to come in for 3 days and test the game, I have the choice to either get paid or take some games. I think I' ve played them all so I' ll probably pick PoP: Warrior Within...
I can' t wait to go visit the studios again, hopefully it should all go well on the 18, 19 and 20th of july...
