Pros

- Opportunity to work on some of the best brands in the world (Transformers, Nerf, My Little Pony) and, currently, some of the best partner licenses (Star Wars, Marvel, Disney Princess) - The people who work here are genuinely nice, good people - Lots of opportunity to move around different marketing functions, whether in a global, regional, or sales/account capacity

Cons

- Location of the company's global headquarters is in suburban Rhode Island. Many employees live in MA and Boston, but location still makes it harder to recruit marketing talent from top business school programs - Compensation is at the lower end of the CPG spectrum, although that is balanced out somewhat by the generous work-life balance (including good vacation package and half-day Fridays all year) - Different groups, whether global vs. regional marketing teams or other cross-functional teams, can be quite siloed: information is not readily accessible (you have to ask numerous teams for a different slice of the same information), thereby making relatively simple tasks that much more onerous and time consuming

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
