Pros
The people at Funko are exceptional. Work-life balance. This is a place where at 5pm you can close your laptop and be well and truly done. There is a company holiday between Xmas and New Years that functionally gives you an extra week of vacation.
Cons
The leadership, across different teams, continues to be bad. I just watched the 4th set of layouts I have seen since I joined shortly before COVID (so < 5 years). Be warned, this company will start hiring again in 6 months and the cycle can begin again. The work life balance is good, the work is pure chaos. Leadership can't seem to figure out which shiny object to chase and so in some form or fashion they chase all of them. Teams are definitely not aligned and rowing in the same direction so you are always negotiating for teams to do something you need them to do. The tools to do the job are awful. Manual processes, low levels of automation and scant human resources plague the operations. Very scant opportunity for internal promotions. There isn't a clear path to promotion and in most cases there isn't an actual career path.
