Pros

- Dedication to work life balance: Half day Fridays throughout the entire year and 5 additional days of annual leave. - Majority of the people are very friendly and nice. Many became friends outside of work.

Cons

- Outdated systems and processes that are time consuming. - Tight deadlines around holiday periods. - Marketing senior management was terrible. Unrealistic expectations, not willing to mentor new staff, lacking empathy, unenthusiastic, egotistical, and dismissive. - Hierarchical. Marketing Director would bring in her friends as senior marketing managers who had no experience in FMCGs or the toy industry. However, they we’re unenthusiastic and not willing to learn from other staff members. - Misleading title of ‘Marketing team’ - it should be renamed to ‘Product Management’. The role involves minimal creative marketing, majority of your time is spent on admin and analysing data. If you hate excel and data analysis then this place is not for you. - High staff turnover during my time of employment particularly in the marketing team. Although, cannot say the same about other departments.

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discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded.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.
