Pros

There are some interesting projects and the company has some good momentum. The environment is probably very different depending on what team you are on.

Cons

The office seems to have all the stuffiness of a very corporate business but none of the fun of a toy company. My team wasn't really introduced to any other teams in the company, we'd sit next to people and not even talk with them, the office is one of those "open office" layouts but no efforts are even made to create a sense of camaraderie between teams. Regularly I heard in-fighting and inter-team squabbles and corporate power struggle kind of stuff, it seemed like a very political company with a negative corporate culture.

Good people, Poor Management

Pros

People and culture, we banded together and formed strong relationships due to the long hours and fast paced nature of the business. Benefits were good.

Cons

Not a structured work environment, systems and process were lacking and overall leadership was male centric where those who moved in position were less qualified but were friends in high places. No career pathing and hard work was not rewarded or acknowledged. The extra hours of the "Whatever It Takes" attitude became part of your regular hours and this were just expected as part of your job and not compensated and this became tired quickly. Comunication was lacking from Senior Management and HR turned over way too many times to count. Too many times they re-structured out the talented people. Too much gossip as part of culture.

Pros

The people/ worker bees are hard working, friendly and enthusiastic. President is smart and a strong businessman.

Cons

New structure is a joke. Most of the senior leadership is not qualified to be in the positions they hold. Employees not valued. Management dazzled by resumes giving little thought to the substance people bring to the table.
