We're in the business of play.
On Team GG, our job is to grow imaginations and encourage open-ended creative play through thoughtfully designed (and surprisingly fun!) kids’ play furniture.
No matter what role you’re seeking, you’ll work alongside a team of 100+ teammates across two main locations. From illustrators to engineers, we all help design, make, sell, and support products that encourage open-ended play for kids, parents, and even ourselves. What could be more fun than that?
We make things.
We have a profound pride and appreciation for making a physical product, and for touching it ourselves before it goes out the door.
Not long ago, everyone here played a role in assembly and shipping — even our CEO would compress individual Nuggets with a pile of cinder blocks and a forklift. We’ve upgraded the equipment (and our CEO now gets his exercise in a more traditional way), but our pride and sense of responsibility in our hands-on approach remains the same. No matter the job title, every Nuggeteer cares about their craft: creating something physical, tactile, and real, with a level of quality we feel good about standing behind — and sitting on.
We’re always growing our imaginations.
It’s more than a slogan to us.
We’re constantly innovating and reimagining how we make our products, and how we run our business. To date, we’ve given more than $1 million in philanthropic donations, we’ve deposited $1 million in company funds in community banks, and our starting wage is $21/hour — nearly 3x the state’s minimum wage.
Our values
Play the long game
We’re forward-thinking. Our long-term success depends on stepping back, being patient, and considering the bigger picture in everything we do.
Just for fun
We’re playful. From the momentous to the mundane, we find opportunities for joy, humor, and lightheartedness in our work.
Don’t make blankets
We’re focused. By avoiding the allure of the ultra-trendy, we give ourselves more time to create high-quality, long-lasting products that deserve a place in our customers’ homes.
Care about your craft
We’re thorough. We take pride in doing the little and big things right — from zipper pulls to a giant machine we call the burrito dropper.
America’s #1 fastest-growing manufacturing company

I hope to be here for a long time!
It’s an honor to work here. Of course, no place is perfect, but Nugget is extremely creative and fun. It pays well in comparison to places I've worked before, and I feel like your voice is heard. Everything may not get solved right when you want, but there is communication about the “why” and how the process works to make changes we want to see. Honestly being here, you learn that there are employers that care about their employees!
I love that Nugget offers so many opportunities for me to learn, grow, and expand my skillset on the job. I'm constantly being exposed to new and unusual (and fun!) projects, with the freedom to experiment creatively and technically. All of this under leadership who is talented and creative themselves, not to mention generous with their time and expertise. Nugget was my dream job before I came here — and it's been everything I hoped for and more.
People can make or break your experience at a company, and the people at Nugget absolutely make it a positive place to work! I've never worked with a more supportive, fun, and productive team. Everyone is welcoming, helpful, and inclusive.
The best part about my role as a Community Manager and working at Nugget in general is knowing I'm bringing smiles to the faces of our Nuggeteer community everyday. Knowing our work has such a positive impact on the lives of so many is extremely gratifying and getting to do so with such a talented and creative team makes every single project a blast! Nugget's alignment with my values in supporting important causes and marginalized groups also makes working here feel truly fulfilling!
It has been great working for and with the maintenance department here at Nugget. I enjoy taking care of the equipment that helps Nugget grow. I thrive on challenges, so when equipment needs to be repaired, it gives me the opportunity to learn new skills, especially in electricity and programming, which often involve unknowns. I’ve learned so much from others on my team, and they have really helped guide me since I’ve been here.
Nugget is a fun place to work as they are constantly looking for ways to improve what they do. This generates interesting projects, new challenges, and many opportunities for professional growth. Having interesting things to work on is big for me because it means my job is never boring. I also feel like they are always thinking about the people here and finding little things to make their jobs a little bit easier.

Our hiring process
Because we take the business of play very seriously at Nugget, we’ve created an inclusive and equitable hiring process that helps us match awesome people to roles in which they’ll thrive. Explore the stages of our hiring process to learn more about what to expect on the Nugget hiring journey.
1. Application Review
We’re so grateful you took the time to apply for a role at Nugget! Our Hiring Team personally reviews every application that we receive for open positions (no robots here)! If your background, skills, and experience are a good match for what we’re looking for, we’ll email you within two weeks of receiving your application to schedule a Phone Screening with our team. If you don’t receive an email from us within that time frame, that means you have not been selected to move forward at this time — but we’d love to hear from you again in the future for other roles.
2. Phone Screening
In this introductory conversation, our Hiring Team’s goal is to learn more about you, your background and experience, and why you’re interested in the position! We’ll also share more our interview process and hiring timeline, and answer any questions you have about working at Nugget.
3. Hiring Manager Interview
In this video (Zoom) interview, you’ll chat with several Nugget team members, including the Hiring Manager, for the position. We’ll ask you to share specific examples from your past work experience that highlight the skills and competencies we’re looking for. This is also a great time for YOU to ask the Hiring Manager questions about the position and their team.
4. Case Study + Interview
This stage of the hiring process can vary slightly based on the position, but for most roles at Nugget, candidates complete a “take-home project” that we call a Case Study. These projects are a great way to demonstrate how you approach and think about tasks, assignments, or problems that this role might encounter. After completing a Case Study, candidates typically have a follow-up interview as well. As a note: We realize completing a Case Study takes time, attention, and effort — they’re work! And because they’re work, we compensate candidates for completing Case Studies at Nugget.
5. Team Interview
This is the final interview in our hiring process. In this conversation, you’ll meet Nugget team members from across the company. We’ll share more about Nugget’s values and culture, ask you a few questions to hear your perspective, and offer you the opportunity to ask current Nuggeteers about their experiences working at Nugget.
6. Reference Checks
Our Hiring Team will request our top candidates’ references prior to the team interview, but the final stage is to connect with those references to learn more about their experience working with you. Pro tip: Let your references know in advance that someone from the Nugget team might be emailing or calling them, so they know to expect to hear from us.
7. Offer
Congratulations! After completing our reference conversations, we get to have a really fun phone call and make an offer to our top candidate (hopefully that’s you!). We’ll discuss compensation, benefits, and start date, and you’ll complete our standard new employee background check. Then get excited for your first official day as a member of Team GG!
