Do better Ferrara - R&D Ferrara Candy Company Employee Review

Pros

Really great employees, nice benefits

Cons

There is no work life balance here. Management does not listen to employee concerns, which has lead to a lot of people leaving the company recently. A ton of money was wasted on a big fancy office and now employees are being forced to return to office in person, when most have voiced the want for fully remote work. New CEO is old school and doesn’t care about the company. Totally different from old CEO Todd Siwak. Everyone is overworked and undervalued. This company seems really like a really great place at first because you’re reeled in with a bunch of perks, but it doesn’t last. Run. Run fast.

Pros

Iconic brands Capable coworkers Cool office, and good location Real opportunities to build tangible experience

Cons

Very cut throat / unforgiving culture Poor work / life balance Poor IT systems Unrealistic deadlines, “Ferrara Fast” High employee turnover Most work is churn at the corporate level, does not feed into proper decisions / strategy execution at the executive level Short term performance management, worse than Private Equity companies. Week to week performance reviews of the business, leading to substandard results in market and serious risk of long term underperformance
