- Working for a growing beauty brand - products are actually great, you’ll feel inspired to work here but unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros

- Leadership lacks foundational marketing and creative expertise, which results in inconsistent direction and unclear priorities - Minimal trust in team members- projects are frequently micromanaged, with little autonomy given to experienced hires - Successes are often attributed to leadership, while mistakes are quickly redirected to junior team members without accountability - High turnover across departments, particularly among experienced professionals, which creates instability and constant knowledge gaps - Company culture leans toward compliance rather than collaboration, there is little room for dissenting opinions or strategic input - Communication is often impersonal and inefficient, with an overreliance on AI-generated responses rather than thoughtful leadership engagement - Brand positioning appears inconsistent externally (e.g., social media), reflecting a broader lack of internal alignment and long-term vision -Limited investment in team development, mentorship, or clear career progression

remote work is nice and you get a lot of freedom day-to-day. the products are actually cool and the brand is growing fast, so from the outside it seems exciting. if you’re early in your career you’ll probably get exposure to a lot pretty quickly.

honestly wouldn’t recommend. the company talks a lot about “culture” but remote work alone doesn’t create culture, and there’s basically no effort to connect employees or check in on people. it can feel pretty isolating. there’s also huge turnover — like half the staff cycling out pretty regularly. a lot of inexperienced people get hired with the idea they’ll “grow with the company,” but it mostly just means low salaries and teams full of people still figuring things out while the company tries to scale fast. leadership feels pretty scattered. priorities change constantly and leaders will gossip about each other in front of junior staff which makes it confusing to know what the actual direction is. there’s also pretty obvious favoritism which doesn’t help morale.
