Could be better - Creatives Officer Issy & Co. Cosmetics Employee Review

- Young employee demographic (early 20s to mid 30s) - Inclusive, very women and LGBTQIA+ friendly - 30% discount on all products from Issy and its sister companies - Free makeup every launch - Unique brand image that's very forward-thinking - HMO but only after 1 year of employment - Able to connect with people in the makeup/creative industry - Fellow employees are nice and friendly

- Only 12 PTO per year total - Office isn't the most pleasing environment, not conducive - Advertises themselves as a "hybrid" setup but only Friday is WFH and sometimes they take that away (e.g. taking away Friday WFH when there are too many holidays in a month) - Too strict and fussy with time (will scold you if you do your makeup or eat during work hours even for only a few minutes) - Pace is too fast, easy to burn out - Some top and middle managers are mean and unprofessional (e.g. abusing their power, using harsh words, mean girl energy) - Lack of training programs for new hires and interns - Management will schedule out-of-office work without consulting employee availability - Lack of planning, lots of last-minute tasks/projects - Lack of accountability from management - Lack of support and consideration during natural calamities like typhoons

Employees get 30% off discount on products.

Well, where do we start haha. There’s only 12 PTOs per year. Delayed release of HMO. They don’t pay your government contributions btw haha even though they deduct it from your salary. Management sucks. Everything is poorly planned and last minute and will shift the blame on you if something wrong happens. They don’t train you. The office is so ugly. No work/life balance. Feels more like a college org than a company actually haha.
