Vantaggi

- Free beauty products - Average comps (more on this in the cons section) - When most of your team leave the company due to toxic work environment, you can seize the opportunity to bargain for a promotion

Svantaggi

- Unstructured: You have to spend most of your work days substitute in every area on your team the company cannot find candidates (mostly due to the company’s not so competitive salary and niche appeal) and work after hours for your specialized fields - Long hours: it’s normal for your superior to message you after 10PM on weekends and after midnight on weekdays and expect immediate answers; any missed call/message will impact your performance review - Egotistical executive team: There are certain executive team members who have the tendency to micromanage every aspects of the business even areas they are not experts in causing the company making the wrong important strategic decisions (imagine a finance executive dragging a SWE lead into 10+ hours of meetings telling them how to do their work) - Rampant Cronyism and Nepotism: You will find some upper managers’ family members and besties at work and always get placed on the most visible projects - High turn-over: Among the upper to middle managements there are numerous cases of people leaving the company within 5 days to 10 months, many within 2 months; many of those who remained are ones who really need a promotion in their careers or have too much pride

Vantaggi

- Remote first - Kind coworkers - Fun brand

Svantaggi

My entire career has been built on digital transformation/migration projects, but IPSY showed me a new kind of chaos. A very immature project management function coupled with constant rebrands, shifting priorities, and last-minute legal changes made it feel like they were trying to rebuild the car while it's already rolling downhill. Still a spreadsheet place. Product requirements constantly got buried in Slack. (Why are we so afraid of email?) Disjointed processes and minimal communication to contractors. (It's often the norm to treat contractors like secondary citizens, but most places will at least communicate info relevant to your job). Seems like a bad idea to lay off tech team members midway through a delayed transformation project.
