Great experience not as great pay - Anonymous employee IGN Entertainment Employee Review

Pros

Great employees, sense of fun and camaraderie, love of games and the industry, E3 access, focus on how to be great and improve.

Cons

Pay is less than a lot of Silicon Valley and SF tech roles, so you have to believe in what you're doing, the industry, and the perks. The merger with GameSpy wasn't handled well, but most of those assets have been shed now, although it was a painful period. Because it's a smaller company, it was tough to advance.

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
