Pros

Great people within the team. Made some good friends! Good location.

Cons

Upper management are arrogant and they will hire external "yes-men" instead of promoting qualified, proven, dedicated employees from within. Wages are a joke. Executives seemed immature - could often be heard yelling and swearing in meetings. They liked to think they were a "hip, young" company but if you wanted snacks and drinks, you had to use vending machines. The only charitable initiatives they're involved with are the shady Autism Speaks and the self-congratulatory Sharing and Caring event. Extreme lack of morale due to being overworked. Working for a toy company was no fun. A few years back a man in the office dressed as a famous abuser of women for Halloween. Only in a company with a culture that values women so little would someone find that to be an appropriate costume.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
