Pros

I made many great friends while working here. The culture is great. The new location is way better than the old one. There are many people who care about the company still there. Way too many have left either voluntarily or not.

Cons

Biggest challenge is the game industry itself. It's changing so fast and IGN has been slow to adapt and find where the new growth is. Editorial is still inconsistent. Some content is great while others are sub par. Quality over quantity would be best, but it's hard to argue more articles get more clicks.

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
