Pros

Meritocratic environment - if you are a great performer your career will fly 'Can-do' attitude - very solutions focused Networked environment - you can get decisions made very quickly Exciting environment - hundreds of launches every year Not proceedural - you have a lot of room to make decisions and stretch the boundaries of your role Passionate people - creates an inspiring environment

Cons

Long hours - but this is improving with strategies like summer working hours (finishing at 3pm on Fridays) If you don't enjoy a highly changeable and fast moving environment - L'Oreal may not be a good choice as an employer - you need to love change and be very flexible Communication is really important - you cannot rely on emails to build relationships - you have to build networks to get the best results

Pros

Great benefits, glamorous leadership, investment in AI and tech, available career pathing (if you live in the right location) and great access to trainings and development.

Cons

Culture has shifted and is ambiguous. There has been a very clear re-prioritization of NYC focused career pathing while if you live in another location, you are expected to re-locate (with little financial help or cost of living adjustments), or be stagnant in your career pathing. There used to be more distinct opportunities outside of Manhattan or New Jersey sites. It’s New York metro or no where which contradicts how the brands need to react because the United States is a huge country that needs various POVs. Internally, leaders are not as transparent about organizational aspirations. Additionally, a company that used to compensate well has halted on that trajectory and becoming less competitive.
