Great team, great band, but new VP is damaging both - Department Director IGN Entertainment Employee Review

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

Pros

Truly talented, smart, and wonderful coworkers who are great to be around and are people I genuinely respect and look forward to seeing. I also had understanding supervisors.

Cons

Upper management is a mess. Old school thinking in a space requiring new methods of engaging with their audience has the company in rapid decline with many waves of layoffs. Quantity over quality, "feed the machine" mentality. Worked my *** off for years leading many projects with not a single significant pay raise or promotion.
