Pros

Great co-workers. Fun events. Nice if you get the right managers.

Cons

You cannot move up in this company - they advertise jobs, but already know who they are hiring. They also hire based on upper management family and friends first. Even internships are hired based on who you know. With covid coming to its 'end' they are requiring all employees who are vaxxed to come back to work hybrid. They gave no choice to work remotely - even if you have successfully been working remotely the last two years as the whole company was. Management is forcing employees in so that they have heads available, as upper management is coming down on them to get bodies into the buildings. Some teams are allowing remote when wanted. Others will not. it's not uniform. Some employees even asked to forego their yearly raise just to work from home. After working for two plus years remotely - no one wants to go back to being caged and have to answer to someone to use the restroom, when to go to lunch or break, where are you if you are 10 minutes late due to traffic. No one wants to commute in the Winter months. No one has money for gas to commute - yet no cost of living raise. No stipends for those forced to work hybrid and show their faces. The company seems to wait until it's a huge issue before communicating what everyone is whispering about company wide. The left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. If you report to your direct manager you need to work remote and they approve but do not tell the next in line and then your head isn't in your cube, they contact you directly asking where you are. People cannot go from working on their own successfully to going back to answering for every move they make. They have successfully worked from home and managed their families and home lives and Hasbro has no regard for that. It's miserable right now and employees are jumping ship left and right. Read the room, Hasbro.

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.
