Ubisoft had a big sexual harrassment scandal just a few years back, with Marketing execs named by whistleblowers as the biggest offenders. Same people.
It's hard to tell what Ubisoft's leadership culture is really like. On the one hand, releasing a game where Crusader knights are the primary enemy, and Nizari Ismaili assassins are the heroes (even if their cult is made no longer specifically Islamic), in 2007 was a big fuck you to G. W. Bush. They often make an effort at anti-colonialist positions and sympathies, even if the end result can be paternalistic cringe. On the other hand, there's the big problem with women (as far as management was concerned, not the devs by all reports), and the fact that there are no Jews in the AC universe. There's one recognisable (and named) synagogue in Ptolemaic Alexandria, but try finding any of the worshippers - estimated at around 35% of the city's population at that time. Try finding them in c12 Levant, or c9 Baghdad, or the East End of Victorian London. It's a mystery.
