Pros

Brilliant Earth has been a wonderful place to work! We are a fast-growing and ambitious team, but still grounded in a supportive, values-driven culture. Even as the company has scaled quickly, leadership has stayed focused on transparency, collaboration, and doing the right thing, which makes it feel like everyone is working toward something meaningful together. There are plenty of opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and grow your career, and I’ve consistently felt encouraged to develop new skills and stretch into bigger responsibilities. Overall, it’s a been a great environment with a great team and overall purpose.

Cons

There's nothing major I can think of.

Pros

Gaining entry to early mid level knowledge about jewelry and meeting such wonderful people, such as employees and some customers.

Cons

Toxic workplace, top down company, low pay, no lateral promotions, major issues with quality so there are many instances of customers becoming upset, little to no transparency especially for information that is needed to be shared for all employees, etc.
