Terrible Management and Founders

Pros

The hard working design team. Everyone except the management team makes it worth it.

Cons

Wow, where do I begin? First of all, the management has been writing the over-the-top reviews on how great the founders/job/management are. It's getting pretty sad. Second, third, and fourth- please do not apply for jobs here. High turnover.

Pros

Great group of people to work with. Fast-paced environment. The company that allows you to work on various projects and take ownership of them. If you want experience and make things your own this is a really good company to work with. If you enjoy consumer products, it's great, if you like baby products even better! The products are really cute and popular. HQ is in NYC and near all public transpiration. Very convenient location in the Flatiron district

Cons

Office can get a little loud, but the addition of the new floor is helpful. A good amount of meetings, maybe cut down. Less e-mail more talking.

Pros

Worldwide name recognition in the baby and toddler market. Nice life balance. Staff and Senior Management understand and are supportive of work and family balance (Summer Fridays are a plus!) People are really smart, interesting backgrounds from many different industries. Productive (not time draining) brainstorming/team building meetings help everyone contribute and really get creativity flowing. The design team, led by Ellen Diamant (one of the owners) is really great, from top down everyone is open to suggestions, even from the most junior staff. Ellen and Michael Diamant built Skip Hop from scratch, I have only been here 2.5 years, but I wish I had been here from the beginning. They encourage all members of the team to get to know each other (yup, it's Ping Pong Fridays - no joke!), which adds a nice social aspect to the job ( something not every company does these days). Plus they make sure if you work hard, you play hard - we get a really generous vaka package.

Cons

If you're lazy or un-enthusastic you might not like it here, but if you're into developing new baby products, want a cool casual work environment with some pretty smart and diverse group of people you'll like it here. It's a fairly open work environment, so if you are an "I need an office" person, you probably won't gel with the culture. Liking kids and/or having a child, niece/nephew, sister/brother etc... is probably a positive, I have 2 kids and it makes understanding the products and our customers easier.
