Pros

Great people and culture which is why most people stay so long. Everyone hangs out with each other even after hours and gets along great. Kind of like a family. One of the top companies in gaming and are doing some pretty cool things from a branding standpoint. Good name to have on your resume in Digital/Gaming.

Cons

Very little room for advancement and on the lower end for pay. Work to life balance is not that great. Depending on our lifestyle and if you have a family you can spend some late nights working with no reward or thanks in return. Management consists of people who have been there many years and they promote "their own" first. Some of the people in management are complacent and don't carry the workload. Many rounds of layoffs for a company that is consistently making money.

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
