Pros

The competence level of most employees is extremely low so it is easy to stand out. It is a comfortable environment where employees work 9 to 5 like bureaucrats.

Cons

The Senior Management is extremely weak. You wonder how some of these people made it to VP level. The overall company is averse to risk. They are a leading mass fragrance company but this is a declining market. They have adopted a business model (celebrity fragrance) that is extremely easy to copy.

Pros

Hybrid / insurance / summer fridays

Cons

The HR department is virtually nonexistent, with very little transparency or communication with employees. There are no bonuses, and morale is extremely low. The company feels like a sinking ship—I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.
