Pros

-People are fun to work with. -Casual dress.

Cons

-Disorganization -Senior managers have too much time on their hands and push around mid-managers to do asinine tasks that make little sense to IGN's brand. -Low balling salary to the point of it being disrespectful. -Most employees are tasked with way too much to do. -Office politics play into decision making. -Firings without sufficient warning, going against most corporate protocols, and are completely dehumanizing. -HR is a joke. -What is a work-life balance?

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
