Toxic Work Environment - Anonymous employee L'Oréal Employee Review

Diversity initiative is mostly just for show. Advancement almost purely relies on politics. Expectations are not equal and overt favoritism is rampant. Trust is non existent as the culture is extremely dog eat dog. If you don’t fall in line with the status quo it will be very painfully obvious that you’re not accepted. If you’re an immigrant, woman of color, or older than 50, it’s likely you’ll either be ignored or pushed out of the company. Toxic managers are usually promoted and protected. There is no pre-established way of doing things so onboarding is a nightmare and anytime there’s personnel change it feels like starting over from zero. Headcount runs ridiculously lean in some business critical departments while other departments are over staffed. 401k contribution vests after 5 years which is abnormally high for the industry.
