Pros

Employees (excluding leadership) are kind and supportive

Cons

The workplace culture at Patrick Ta is alarmingly toxic to say the least, with the founder and leadership being significant contributors. Their leadership style is characterized by fear and disrespect. Communication is often laced with condescension creating an uncomfortable atmosphere for all employees. Tension escalates throughout the office whenever the founder is present, fostering an anxiety-ridden work environment. The expectations set by leadership are not only unrealistic but border on the absurd. 12 hour workdays become the norm, and lunch breaks are a luxury you can rarely afford. Burnout is not only expected but guaranteed. Resources and time are consistently wasted on misguided projects, contributing to an overall lack of structure within the organization. This mismanagement contributes to a chaotic work environment, further amplifying stress and frustration. There is a constant pressure to be reachable via email, text and other channels leaving no room for a healthy work-life balance. Patrick Ta Beauty is far from an ideal workplace and prospective employees should approach with caution.

Pros

Decent company provided employee product perks. Work here only if you desire long hours and no boundaries between work and personal time.

Cons

Any overly positive reviews appear to be written by management since the company's board members were concerned of the negative (but true) reviews. If you’re considering a role in the creative or marketing departments, I strongly advise against it. Leadership does an excellent job presenting the company as well-organized during interviews, but in reality, it’s in a constant state of pure chaos. During my time here, I’ve seen several highly talented employees leave due to the lack of structure and support, especially within the marketing team, which also oversees creative. The environment is extremely stressful and toxic, and despite raising concerns, leadership listens without taking meaningful action. Management tends to be reactive rather than proactive, which creates ongoing confusion and severe inefficiency. Communication is scattered across multiple platforms including WhatsApp, email, Slack, and text messages, which is disorganized and unprofessional especially for tracking cross-functional communication and timelines, yet continues to be the accepted way of operating.
