Mix of big company and start-up - not always the best of both - Anonymous employee Burt's Bees Employee Review

Very chaotic and stressful environment. Lack of systems means work/life balance is non-existent unless you are in upper management or a manufacturing employee. Very difficult to take any vacation. Although it is not explicitly stated, people at all levels are expected to be on call 7 days/week and 18 hours per day. Expect to work on weekends, nights, holidays, vacation days for months/years without a break. Few people in the company actually get to work M-F 9-5. Some departments are very clique-y. People are nice but there is a lot of petty in-fighting and competitiveness. Not what it used to be.
