There are nearly 2,000 employees working in El Segundo, and it is their creativity and talent that enables them to design, develop, and market our innovative toys. Much like our brands, our people also need development and growth opportunities. We believe that as our employees grow professionally, so will Mattel. Our comprehensive people development program addresses training, professional development, reward, and promotion.
The pace is fast and exciting, and performance expectations are high, but the reward of achievement is immeasurable. Mattel offers a dynamic setting designed to help you thrive and achieve your maximum potential. Fresh ideas and insight drive our business, and that's just what we seek in our employees.
Mattel is headquartered in El Segundo, California, a community of 16,000 residents, 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles, and two miles from Los Angeles International Airport.
The eastern half of the town is home to many major employers such as Boeing, Oracle, and DIRECTV, while the western section is a quiet bedroom community, with a charming "hometown" feel.
With neighboring beach towns of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach, El Segundo offers a relaxing environment with many great year-round outdoor recreational activities like biking, skating, swimming, and surfing.
As a benefit of living in suburban Los Angeles, residents can enjoy amusement parks such as Disneyland and Universal Studios, attend sporting events by the Lakers, Dodgers, and Kings, or visit world-famous art and history museums.
