Pros

I worked at GameSpy Tech. The team were exceptionally talented, very committed and tightly-knit. Working on multiplayer gaming technologies for the top 200 games in the world was a real high.

Cons

It's owned by News Corp, with all the hide-bound, bureaucratic interference that implies.

Business Outlook

Pros

Post Roy company has lots of potential Great vibe and very easy going culture which sometimes translates into laziness for several departments. A+ video team, works really hard to produce high quality content amazing and talented askmen team, very classy team. Excellent creative team - high bar for getting in. New CFO is experienced

Cons

Technical team is strong but lacks product leadership to guide it, missing consumer internet sensibility one would expect at a company like IGN Management hasn't addressed low morale or the fact that great quality people are leaving. Many VPs lack basic business skills which leads to mediocre results. HR plans great parties but is at a loss when identifying and solving real problems. Content seems to be going through major growing pains, may need more clean up.
