Pros

Work closely in the industry with big licenses, and can build strong connections with external partners

Cons

Chaotic and a bit unorganized. There isn't always the best judgement for who should be made a people manager vs who should just manage a program.

Ups and downs - with potential for turning it around

Pros

The people are why I've stayed here. If there weren't so many great folks here, I would have already left. Some cool mid management leaders. Has potential to be a cool culture, but only if they don't make it feel forced. New CEO Josh Simon brings promise to turn the company in the right direction. If Funko is going to thrive going forward, Josh is the person that can do it. I have more hope for the company now than I have in the last 4 years.

Cons

Some of the upper Leadership needs a rehaul. Some remaining toxicity that hinders the culture. Not great social engagement planning - they try, but it usually feels fake and forced, not natural. Lots of layoffs in the last few years - I've gone through 4 without being impacted. Work/life balance can be really difficult, but if you mention the concern you're pinned as someone that just can't keep up, which isn't accurate for everyone. Managers should actually consider if there needs to be rebalancing, especially since staff are expected to sometimes double or triple workloads after each layoff, with no title or compensation increase.

Fun Company!

Pros

Great company to work for. It was very fun to be at a creative driven company that sold toys and pop culture items. The work itself was normal for industry. The culture was great with friendly employees! Work life balance was really good too.

Cons

There were a lot of higher management changes, which lead to difference ideas/policies at any given time. However, it depends on the team you were on with how this impacted you.
