Pros

Decent benefits, nice office ambiance. If you like video games then you will not be bored at IGN. If not think hard about going there.

Cons

Intense pressure that never seems to diminish no matter how hard someone has been working. Very poor planning and execution. Communication is frowned upon rather than being encouraged. Unidimensional approach to problem solving and obsession with fixing process problems by writing code which maybe completely unnecessary.

Pros

- Great content team - Name recognition grants access opportunities - A handful of supportive veterans who can still get things done

Cons

- New VP is behind the times and a bully to any staff that rank below him, especially women. - Management's first instinct to cut costs is always lay-offs, while investing in projects and acquisitions that only further strain workload - It's always "do more with less," not "what changes would actually allow more productivity?" - Morale is so low many long term staff openly talk about job hunting and two key people have left since new VP's appointment (and are yet to be replaced) - No clear plan for dealing with falling traffic or issues faced due to AI - Technical innovation focused anywhere but editorial
