Pluspunten

Place had free coffee and flexible hours.

Minpunten

I left because of the lack of journalistic integrity. What finalized my decision was when we were pushing out a review for The Last of Us Part II. Management didnt specify who did, but we got paid to give the game a 10/10 without playing it. I soon quit after. When I was growing up IGN used to be an eligible source of gaming news, they used to never leave their audience in the dark like this, but that time is gone. They dont care about the game, the gamers, just money. So take it from me, if you see a 10/10 coming from IGN, take it with a grain of salt, and that goes for other mainstream outlets such as Polygon or Kotaku, theres a pretty good chance what they are saying isnt true.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

- 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
