Pros

Coworker culture can't be beat. This is THE place to work in your early 20's if you love video games and don't care what you're paid. Also THE place to work if you end up promoted into a senior role and don't mind "checking out" while collecting a paycheck and relying on those 20-something's to work non-stop to make up the difference.

Cons

Standard SF "tech job" issues - must accept poor work/life balance if you want to stand out as a potential future leader, nothing out of the ordinary. But the -1 star is for editorial senior mgmt. They're simply not in tune with media/content landscape past what feels like 2008. Mid/lower level employees still manage to produce great stuff, but inspiration comes from below, never from above.

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
