Fun in Parts, but Too "Corporate" for its Own Good - Analyst Mattel Employee Review

- WAY too serious for a company that's supposed to be producing fun = lower employee morale, less creative thinking - Disingenuous concern for wellbeing, work-life balance (underlying message = we want you to take care of yourself, but we'll exploit people who don't have boundaries with work by promoting them first) - Leaders make quick, cutthroat decisions with little explanation - Lots of barriers and delays to work that actually matters - (Perhaps department-dependent) very little career mobility - Lower salaries than comparable positions at similar companies - Perfectionist culture fosters more competitive, fear-based environment than collaborative environment - Unnecessary 4-day in-office mandate - Few employee engagement events / benefits beyond PTO
