Founded

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

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!
