Pros

The company is making a lot of internal changes, and growing internationally and targeting new market segments - so it's a great time to be working there.

Cons

It has a pretty homogeneous employee base, although they have been trying to change that in recent years.

Toxic Culture

Pros

The actual people doing work here are great, the product is awesome, and the customers are fantastic. It is a toy company after all!

Cons

We lack leadership, starting at the corner office, but most directly down into the VP's, Directors, and Chief's level. LOTS of managers, no leaders. They do not understand the people side of leading and it shows in everything, starting with a "Yes man" culture. There is almost no trust from the bottom up. In the engineering organization, there is MASSIVE change fatigue and the number one complaint is that we are focused more on process than product (and that is putting it nicely).
