Pros

-Stock options -Flexible working hours if you have a need -WFH option -free product and company offsites are generous

Cons

The Care Department is hemorrhaging great talent and it’s really tough to navigate. The recent high turnover rate will be blamed on the post COVID-19 norms but that’s not it at all. The department is hugely undervalued, to the point that HR is conducting focus groups to figure out what is going wrong. That sounds encouraging, but absolutely no action has been taken. They really encourage employees to push out propaganda about how much they love their “journey” with the company and have several meetings devoted to fostering “culture” but it’s just a vehicle to gaslight over-worked, under-paid employees. There are a few in management positions that thrive on an uptight, nervous culture while others do their best to counteract. It’s bleeding into all levels and any valid concerns are met with corporate buzzwords and any hope for change falls flat. The company has also approved a compensation plan for basic warehouse workers that nearly surpasses what they pay the standard care agent. The average agent nets $1200-$1400 every 2 weeks. A line worker at the warehouse gets nearly that as a bonus for working there for 180 days. The workloads and expectations are far too high for an agent to not be insulted by that fact.

Pros

- Remote first - Kind coworkers - Fun brand

Cons

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.
