Pros

You work with toys, which is a really interesting field to work in. There are many smart, motivated people working around you. Great benefits. Half-day Fridays year round. Fun environment and employee activities.

Cons

HR as a whole is incompetent and/or lazy. After they initially get you "in the door", they essentially leave you out to dry, with little to no guidance thereafter. Senior management also tends to cherry-pick their "superstars", who quickly rise the corporate ladder. Others are often left to languish in their positions for years. It's a very disorganized business, with senior management truly not understanding what their employees are working on. They're fed a lot of "yes" talk by their teams, while everyone below picks up the haphazard slack, with the SVPs and above none the wiser (either that or ignorance is bliss). Either way, it makes for a very disgruntled work environment where many different divisions *itch and moan about the same disorganization.

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
