Pros

Strong leadership team that believes in giving everyone a voice. Management sets aggressive goals but gives individuals and teams the support to be successful. Performance is recognized and rewarded. Great group of people who not only love what they do but love to teach, share, and learn. Most importantly, IGN cares about its people including providing compensation and benefits that are competitive.

Cons

Cross team communication can always be improved. Something that is important to one team may not me important to someone else yet both need to work together to get stuff done.

Pros

Best coworkers that you're ever likely to get to work alongside in the trenches.

Cons

CEO Roy has little to no concept about what he's doing with the company. Anyone from the director level and above focuses only on what's above them and liberally abuses the heck out of the rank and file. most productive things get done in spite of management, not because of them. Poor compensation. Average to poor benefits relative to the bay area norm.

Pros

Everyone that works there (below management) is awesome. Everyone is really friendly and works hard for each other so their teammates don't have to stay any later.

Cons

Specifically for the accounting department: - The whole department is falling apart. Notice the many openings at this time. - Quantity of work you get done is far outweighed over quality. The management pushes you into the wee hours of the night when you can't think straight anymore, therefore the work performed is never the best. - Working 11-15 hours has become the standard rather than a reason for praise. The whole department stays late. - No appreciation will be shown and if you miss a deadline, you will have to have a meeting about it - Everything is disorganized: no formal plan is ever made, random things will get thrown at the employees with no explanation, and meetings constantly get pushed back or don't even take place at all (so you can never plan for the day let alone an hour). - The processes are manual and not automated to the tune of industry standards as the dept is so short staffed, no one has time to think about it.
