Pros

Open culture that is generally pretty collaborative Autonomy to get things done Lots of cool personalities at the office tremendous talent on the editorial and video teams and they are passionate about games. I have to love this having worked at a technology company before.

Cons

Core executive team is smart and dedicated but there are some people that if compared to an outside Director of VP wouldn't even be close. Make VP a true VP ... People are leaving in droves which is a bummer and hard on morale. While the office in SF is in the best part of the city to work in, has games and the people are great, it generally feels like there isn't much thought put into the look and feel and layout/design.. Get experts in to design the place.

Pros

The people are refreshingly down to earth and friendly. Even though people worked long hours, it was nice to get along with everyone.

Cons

Everything was a mess. With that mess came a heavy workload. With the heavy workload came long work hours. And there didn't seem to be the competence of management to realize how to make things better for everyone.

Pros

Nice environment, flexibility around family needs. IGN promotes a sense of fun with a game room and movies. Corporate allows casual dress and the engineering work attracts smart people.

Cons

Pay is not spectacular, (made up for by nice environment), teams can be a little exclusive, information sharing a little weak, sometimes fastest fix promoted...and not best fix, even when have time. Problem solving can be political.
