Pluspunten

IGN Entertainment's work environment is very casual with a dynamic environment -- it is a great place to work if you love gaming and there are some fun perks. That being said, there are employees who are professional and maintain a strong work ethic. There are many kind and friendly people, often at the rungs below upper management.

Minpunten

Many managers are shockingly incompetent and pathetic. There are no apparent growth opportunities for younger employees. Though they claim that the org structure is very flat -- there is definitely a disguised hierarchy. I would say this is a horrible place to start a career. All the high caliber well-educated employees left for better jobs with robust growth opportunities. Salary is somewhat of a joke and some other employees (myself included) felt completely misled by the job descriptions and titles (even after several rounds of interviews). I understand a job description is sometimes a wish list, but it should be somewhat representative of the general nature of the position instead of completely different.

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
