Office politics often interfere with your chances of a promotion, especially if you're at the bottom of the hierarchy. If you're young, they'll take advantage of you and delay your promotion even if the years of service qualify for the next level. Some areas have stronger power dynamics in the meeting room, which causes issues in collaboration. There are limited career growth opportunities if you're looking to build a strong technical foundation and the toy industry may not be for everyone.
