Pros

The middle managers are the best. There were so many wonderful people at LeapFrog who kept things running for years, while the executives rotated in and out. People made lasting friendships at LeapFrog and so many people really cared about the mission and the products.

Cons

The current management team is terrible. And it's pathetic and sad what they've done to this wonderful company. They came in and rode the LeapPad wave, which was set in motion before they came. They had nothing to do with it, though they love to take credit for it. The CEO, CMO, and CFO are all friends from years of working together and have no idea what they're doing. They continue to pay themselves fat salaries, while laying everyone off. And what's worse is they have no strategy and never have. This isn't surprising as they are not capable of creating a strategy. The Board should have fired them all ages ago. Except they're all friends, too.

Pros

Peers are great, fun, supportive and creative.

Cons

They will not turn a contractor into a permanent hire. Do not go in as a contractor, you will be used up and thrown to the curb. Beware... If you go in as a contractor, always be applying. You are not part of the company.
