Pros

There are some interesting projects and the company has some good momentum. The environment is probably very different depending on what team you are on.

Cons

The office seems to have all the stuffiness of a very corporate business but none of the fun of a toy company. My team wasn't really introduced to any other teams in the company, we'd sit next to people and not even talk with them, the office is one of those "open office" layouts but no efforts are even made to create a sense of camaraderie between teams. Regularly I heard in-fighting and inter-team squabbles and corporate power struggle kind of stuff, it seemed like a very political company with a negative corporate culture.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
