great product, subpar leadership team - Recensione dipendente - Manager presso L'Occitane

Leadership is lack of vision, unable to make any decision, and reluctant to implement changes and innovation despite claiming otherwise. The company runs on gossip, nepotism and favoritism. Certain teams would hire people they've previously worked with in other companies/friends with regardless of their qualification and cultural fit. There used to be way more women sitting in roles that are director level or above. Many of them have unfortunately left and have been replaced by male or someone who previously worked with the CEO. Compensation is below industry standard with little to no room for growth. Discussions around career progression are often disregarded or pushed aside due to "budget challenges". Talents and accomplishments often go unnoticed. There also has been extremely high turnover in the past year due to massive layoff and toxic work environment created by the leadership team. Many of those who left are the ones who have worked for the company for 5 - 10 years.
