Great co-workers but terrible management! - Accounting Department IGN Entertainment Employee Review

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.

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
