STAY AWAY - Software Engineer IGN Entertainment Employee Review

Pros

The only thing going in favor of IGN is the decent salary although that may not be true of all individuals. If you like working in a completely chaotic environment where you can get to play some video games at work this is the place for you. If you're interested in learning and career growth this is the last place you want to work at. Certainly not a place for anyone who's stepped out of the teenager mindset.

Cons

Complete lack of order, non-existent information sharing or knowledge transfer to complete the troika of zero documentation, complete lack of cohesiveness from management, complete misfits in managerial roles, no comprehension of the importance of putting some processes in place.

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
