Pros

They are a toy company on the rise, and if you can get resources, are on the right team, and the owners like your ideas, you will have a lot of room to play with your creativity.

Cons

There is zero, zilch empathy about the long hours and extreme workload most staff experience. I work 70-80 hours a week and at least one day on the weekends and still can't keep up. I am a highly efficient person (actually won an award at my last job for that) so it's not me. This company will work you to death and not bat an eye. The turnover rate is really high. If you are part of one of the acquired companies you will be left out of all the resources and will not be integrated - I advise you to look for another job because it's not going to be better, your life will become hell. Project management only exists in a few quarters and communication between teams is very poor with only a few exceptions. It's really sad to have to leave this review, I was very optimistic at first, but I'm just so tired now it's hard to be positive. I am finally starting to look for another job because I know I'm just a number here now.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
