Pros

The people are very friendly, both internationally as in the US. Starting salaries tend to be good and competitive but once you joined, you should not expect any growth. Generally Friday afternoons people are not expected to work and work life balance is very good. Working from home and flexible hours are accepted, but it does lead to a lack of control and management sometimes has no clue what staff is doing.

Cons

The company seems to be struggling due to lack of sales globally and in the US and because of a lack of innovation. People stay in the company for many years resulting in very old senior management. For a toy company one would expect young innovative people, but that's not the case. Many re-organisations and workforce being laid off (recently 10%)

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discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded.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.
