Pros

Post Roy company has lots of potential Great vibe and very easy going culture which sometimes translates into laziness for several departments. A+ video team, works really hard to produce high quality content amazing and talented askmen team, very classy team. Excellent creative team - high bar for getting in. New CFO is experienced

Cons

Technical team is strong but lacks product leadership to guide it, missing consumer internet sensibility one would expect at a company like IGN Management hasn't addressed low morale or the fact that great quality people are leaving. Many VPs lack basic business skills which leads to mediocre results. HR plans great parties but is at a loss when identifying and solving real problems. Content seems to be going through major growing pains, may need more clean up.

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
