What We Love

Every year, employee families at this media-content company get together for Kids Day, an event that finds little ones participating in arts and crafts, watching magic shows, cooking pizzas and meeting Nickelodeon stars. Moms share a similar camaraderie during meetings of the company’s ParentHood affinity group, where they talk about everything from saving for college to hiring au pairs and what modern fatherhood looks like (there are subgroups for those with toddlers, tweens, teens and children with special needs). The popular “Food for Thought” seminars, held on-site, cover tricky parenting topics like bullying and risky adolescent behavior. In Los Angeles, an on-site daycare welcomes kids ages 6 weeks to 6 years.
