Racism and sexism rampant, nothing done about it

Anonymous employee

Pros

The company has a great product and great product quality. It can be very positive if you are passionate about the product.

Cons

Chinese speaking people cluster together and speak in their language when they want to exclude others from the conversation and make others feel terrible. There is bullying between different races at the company. It looks like a high school, socially with very active 'mean girls'. Management, since it is mostly white male doesn't know and don't care since everyone, regardless of their background are kissing up to them.

Feeling a lot of positive momentum

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Leadership. Our CEO is vastly different from our previous leaders. She meets with the entire company every single week and gives us the chance to ask her and the management team anonymous questions. I can't think of any other CEO who does this and it's really, really powerful. 2. Company growth. The business (with the exception of some parts of the company) is growing at a strong clip. 2020 was a really, really strong year for the consumer business. It feels good to work for a company that's doing well in a tough COVID economy. 3. The people. Everyone here is smart and willing to help you. I really feel like everyone here is working their hardest (which is why people are feeling burned out in some cases) because they care so deeply about their coworkers and the brands.

Cons

1. There are some people who have been here a really long time and who are stuck in their ways. I believe they are slowly fading out of the company but it's taken a while and they can sometimes be roadblocks. 2. Priorities do seem to change often. Which leads to a lot of burnout. People are working really hard, long hours.

Tons of layoffs. Stay far far away

Pros

Decent work life balance Nice people

Cons

This company used to be decent, but it was bought by a private equity firm that is slashing jobs. Culture of company has been on the steady decline. Pay is not competitive and no annual raises. Work is not challenging or innovative. Very siloed teams.
