Vantaggi
IGN Entertainment's work environment is very casual with a dynamic environment -- it is a great place to work if you love gaming and there are some fun perks. That being said, there are employees who are professional and maintain a strong work ethic. There are many kind and friendly people, often at the rungs below upper management.
Svantaggi
Many managers are shockingly incompetent and pathetic. There are no apparent growth opportunities for younger employees. Though they claim that the org structure is very flat -- there is definitely a disguised hierarchy. I would say this is a horrible place to start a career. All the high caliber well-educated employees left for better jobs with robust growth opportunities. Salary is somewhat of a joke and some other employees (myself included) felt completely misled by the job descriptions and titles (even after several rounds of interviews). I understand a job description is sometimes a wish list, but it should be somewhat representative of the general nature of the position instead of completely different.
