How challenged are you at Mattel, Inc.?

Depends on your title and what department you are in. In the G&A functions, it is extremely challenging being constantly pounded on to "do more with less" while being told to enable whatever initiatives the marketing people want to pursue. Those groups -- and there are several of them -- seem to have bottomless slush funds of cash for non-essential trips and pet projects that don't actually produce measurable positive results (i.e., sales).
