Pros

Nothing new half day Fridays, Christmas week off toy discounts.

Cons

Ms. Thomas is time for you to move on. The company has outgrown your leadership abilities. Finance and IT are Incapable to support Mr. Goldner’s vision and strategy as you lack the big picture mentality. Micromanagement and your personal involvement on matters your highly paid direct reports should be able to address. Your need to be involved in everything brings the teams to the point of paralysis. Behave like the CFO of a large public company not a mom and pop operation Finance manager. The processes at both departments are mostly entirely manual. Very long processing and cycle times. Internal controls bypass is how go to market time is minimized. Impossible to move up if you are not personal friends of Ms Thomas or other members of leadership. Cost cutting is such that risk of non compliance lurks around every corner. This only seems to affect support functions while Marketing and other groups continue to blow out money on very large global networking events. Very costly as there is no thought given to number of attendees and location they travel from. Same goes for Hong Kong toy fair attendance. Nuremberg toy fair, etc. scrutinize their spending as much as Finance and IT.

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discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded.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