As a B Corp the company claims to have several pillars, one of which is social responsibility. Most people working at the company applied for their positions thinking that this pillar would impact how employees are treated internally, however, in my experience the social responsibility pillar was only for those in need outside of the company i.e. charitable organizations helping mothers in need, etc. While working at the company 7 people left in 6 months, 3 of which did not give notice. I saw a heavily pregnant woman berated publicly by her boss, only to get demoted once she came back from maternity leave. Employees were having mental health issues and were asked to work while on vacation. When the heavy workload was brought up to management they replied, "We all work hard."
Pay, bonuses, and raises were also very poor. In my time at the company I was given additional duties and received a fair review from my direct manager only to receive a 1.5% raise. The bonus structure is terrible. The company expects you to perform additional tasks that are outside of your job description in order to receive any type of bonus. These tasks need to be approved by several people in upper management, and if these people (who do not work with you might I add) believe you have not completed these bullet points $ amounts will be deducted from your bonus. Even if you do complete these tasks 40% of your bonus is contingent on the company being profitable, and the subsidiaries were not profitable at the time I left.
The U.S. office does not get many of the same perks as the French office, including 3 weeks off in August and additional vacation time, although they work together. Much of my time was spent covering for our French colleagues while they were out.
Operations team leadership perpetuated a hostile work environment that trickled down.
