Pros

Working at Munchkin is genuinely fulfilling because you feel like your work contributes to a larger mission centered around families, children, and sustainability. The company culture is supportive and collaborative, with team members who are both passionate and driven. The office environment is thoughtfully designed and includes great perks, which makes coming into work a positive experience. Leadership maintains strong communication through regular updates and company-wide meetings, which helps employees stay aligned with the broader goals. There’s also a strong focus on innovation, and it’s exciting to be part of a company that is constantly pushing to improve and expand its product offerings.

Cons

At times, the fast-paced environment can feel overwhelming, especially during product launches or company-wide initiatives. While the company encourages collaboration, there can be occasional challenges with cross-functional communication, which may lead to duplicated efforts or misalignment between teams. Additionally, while there are great opportunities to grow, upward mobility in some departments can be limited depending on team structure and turnover.

Pros

The working team are great to work with, collaborative, creative and hardworking. They support each other and help make Munchkin bearable to work for.

Cons

Munchkin has got to be one of the worst place to work for. Ironically they are certified as "Great Place to Work" for many years. Words that best describe that place include dictatorship, fear-mongering and high ego. From an outsider perspective, Munchkin looks great on resume, with all the awards they've won throughout the years but it was a nightmare to be on the inside. Decision made are not necessarily best for the business, but best for the ego of Brand Design department lead. Fear lingers in the office, especially for teams that have to work with, or are part of Brand Design Department. With the CBO's needs to have control over everything, it means most team work in fear. The C Level does whatever Brand Design wants (she is untouchable) and Human Resource can't stand up for employees and can't keep things confidential. Munchkin expects loyalty out of employee, but anyone can get fired at any moment. Employees stay silent because speaking up or doing the right thing for the business often makes them a target. Current staff fear termination, while former employees fear legal threats. High turnover and workforce reductions have significantly increased the workload for remaining staff. Coupled with a toxic work environment, this has created an unsustainable situation that continues to drive employees away. For many of us who have left the company, we are glad that Munchkin is behind us.
