Pros

Half day Fridays, great vacation time, & maternity leave

Cons

I’ve worked here for 4 years now, and I am very surprised & disappointed at how much the company has changed, for the worst. I used to absolutely love my job here. Now, it feels like I’m just a chess piece on a game board that can be moved around at any point, no matter what my career path or opinion is. Unless you’re in Marketing or very high up in the company, don’t expect to get promoted. It seems that the company only invests in their higher ups and marketing team members. However, they move the marketing team members around the company constantly (chess pieces), thus leaving nearly every team with clueless marketing members because they are all completely new to the brand they’re working on, and not being trained properly. The systems that Hasbro uses are incredibly outdated and not intuitive in any way. They also don’t have any budget for the intuitive ideas that the teams come up with. Any great idea that is created has to be minimized down to nearly nothing with hardly any marketing budget to advertise the products properly. 4 years ago, we had time to get to know each other as employees, have team bonding activities, etc. Now, everyone throughout the entire company is so worked up and stressed constantly because we are told to be more intuitive, do things 30 times faster, and yet they took away 500 of our employees back in October that were incredibly valuable to product development and time management. The amount of restructuring that Hasbro is doing is simply pushing people out because so many just don’t enjoy working here anymore.

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.
