AMAZING EXPERIENCES. WORLDWIDE.
Ziff Davis is a dynamic and vibrant workplace, fueled by the creativity and passion of its employees. At AskMen, or any ZD office, you’re connected to a worldwide hub of creators who are pushing industry-leading ideas. Teams are tight-knit and we enjoy each other’s company both on and off the clock.— Chris | News Editor | Montreal, Canada —
IGN’s environment is one of creativity and reverence. Ideas flourish, passions are welcomed with open arms, and individuals are encouraged to contribute whatever fits their personal strengths. More importantly, it’s a family that extends out even to the ones who consume our content.— Naomi | Host/Producer | San Francisco, CA —
As a part of the IGN Engineering team, I’m excited to come to work every day. There is a real sense of opportunity and growth, and the team is given the tools to seize it. Our code is seen by millions, and that really drives everyone to achieve more.— Dustin | Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA —
I’ve been working for Offers.com for nearly six years, and it’s been amazing to watch this company evolve and grow into a leader in our space. The brilliant people I’ve met, exciting experiences I’ve had in my role, and unexpected things I’ve learned along the way have provided me a work environment I get excited to be a part of every day. Things are ever-changing which makes this company an inspiring place to work. Can’t wait to see what our team accomplishes next!— Jessica | Senior Partner Manager | Austin,TX —
The AskMen offices are always crackling with energy, whether it’s our zany, anything-goes editorial brainstorming meetings, our Friday afternoon viral video sessions, the fact that we get bagels and donuts for breakfast, or the way our witty-banter email threads inevitably produce on-site content. In the winter, we go drinking after work, and in the summer, we play soccer at lunch. This is Better Man HQ, and we’re always working on it.— Alex | Copy Editor | Montreal, Canada —
IGN/Ziff Davis offers a diverse culture that allows individuals to excel and grow. Every day is different from the next, providing a plethora of opportunities to experience and learn from. The people you work with are the key in creating our great work environment.— Courtney | National Sales Director, Endemic | Los Angeles, CA —
I’ve been working in the London office for seven years and no two days have ever been alike. My role has continued to grow as I continue to learn, experience and work with new areas of the business almost daily. Most importantly, however, is that my career is progressing at lightning speed and I’m having a huge amount of fun as it does.— Dan | Commercial Projects & Marketing Manager | London, UK —
I love working at a place with global reach counted in tens of millions of people, but is internally small enough that my individual decisions matter. IGN is a place where fresh minds can impact millions, without countless layers between.— Mark | Product Manager | San Francisco, CA —
Ziff Davis is most certainly an interesting place to work, especially in Australia. As such a small team, we get exposed to every other business within the company, so it’s rare that any two days are the same. Also, being the market leader in most of the categories we operate in is a fantastic advantage, as it means you get to work on the very best projects with the very best brands. The company is constantly evolving, too and is not afraid of change, which is refreshing for a media organisation the size of ours. Collaboration is important and fostered from the top down, not just across departments but across continents. It’s not unusual to get a message directly from global senior management through our internal social network on an idea or discussion point you’ve put forward. After you get over the initial sense of panic, it can make you feel quite chuffed!— Beau | Commercial Products & Marketing Manager | Sydney, Australia —
