Pros

Some of the people. Decent benefits. Healthy number of vacation days. Half day Fridays.

Cons

Since Chris C. took over Hasbro has become unrecognizable and in disarray no matter how much they want to pretend it isn't. The C-suite is disconnected from the front line worker. They have no idea how their draconian decisions have made Hasbro such an undesirable place to work at. Sadly, after losing Brian Goldner, the focus and strategy has shifted to cut jobs, outsource most of the workforce and overwork those left standing. There is constant lack of communication and chaos. Mid-level management focuses on meeting upper management's goals at any cost. They've replaced hundreds of knowledgeable, hard working employees with cheap labor and employees are expected to train their replacements before exiting the company. Offshoring a big percentage of the workforce will fail and many of those jobs will inevitably have to come back. It is hard to envision another 100 years of Hasbro, but easy to recognize the turning point and those responsible for its demise.

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discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded.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