It is the worst career decision I ever made to come here.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

There is a gender pay gap.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

401k match % is good, but 0% vests until you've been there for 3 whole years.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Put children first. Think about the company before yourself. Without it, there are no jobs.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Half day Fridays are the best thing. If they ever take them away, there will be a mass exodus.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Everything. Start with focusing on the product, then culture (act like a grownup company, not a cadre of Marie Antoinettes).

What are some of the best things about your team?

My team is great, but that's because we are "low level" (below VP) and work collaboratively, checking our egos and practicing the golden rule.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Wrong CEO and senior leadership. The board needs to be changed completely. Everyone seems to have forgotten that we make toys for KIDS.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Respect for each other (not just upper management), putting the product before the marketing, having a real vision and set of values that are meaningful to the entire employee population.
