Pros

Absolutely great people. A family. Projects vary, always new things to learn / do. People just care and there is a nice work balance (this does vary from team to team.) Freedom to do what you want if you ask Relatively flat for such an old web company (There are the main managers and then everyone else) Get treated equally no matter who you are.

Cons

Pay isn't the greatest since SF is so expensive, but this is solved because of the culture and people. Difficult industry since we're web and run off of ads. Causes a lot of pressure internally on how to balance ads with good practices. Mother company, Ziff Davis is based in NY and definitely not like IGN.

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
