Pros

Made a few good friends.

Cons

Let me set the scene for you: imagine entering a company that promises the world from the outside but delivers a whirlwind of misery once you step through the doors. The culture here is about as lively as a funeral procession on a rainy day. It's a place where smiles go to die, and laughter is a foreign concept. If you enjoy soul-crushing micromanagement and zero autonomy, congratulations, you've found your new home. Leadership? More like a comedy duo without the laughs. The CEO and CMO are the dynamic duo of incompetence, with their cluelessness and lack of vision. Career progression? Forget about it. Unless you consider stagnation and despair a form of progression, you'll be sorely disappointed. People leave here faster than a contestant on a reality TV show who realizes they've made a terrible mistake. And let's talk about the pay. If you enjoy scraping by on crumbs while the higher-ups line their pockets with gold, then by all means, sign right up. But if you have an ounce of self-respect, run far, far away. In summary, joining Maesa is akin to voluntarily subjecting yourself to a medieval torture chamber. There are better ways to spend your time, like getting a root canal. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this dumpster fire of a company. Your sanity will thank you.

Pros

I've been here for a few years and Like any company, there are good days and challenging days, but I think some of the recent reviews don't paint the full picture. This is a fast-paced beauty company with an entrepreneurial, startup mindset. Priorities can shift quickly, and there are definitely times when things get busy, but that's part of working in this industry. If you enjoy solving problems, wearing multiple hats, and working with smart, passionate people, you'll likely thrive here. One thing I've found is that transparency goes a long way. If you're open with your manager about your workload or need support, they're willing to help prioritize and find solutions. No workplace is perfect, but I've always felt that communication is encouraged. Because it's such a collaborative environment, you'll work with a lot of different personalities and cross-functional teams. Being adaptable, having a positive attitude, and developing a thick skin will definitely help you succeed. This probably isn't the best fit if you're looking for a slow-paced environment with highly predictable days. But if you're energized by building brands, moving quickly, and making an impact, Maesa offers a lot of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Fast pace can be challenging at times, priorities can change quickly, and you'll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, but that's also what makes the work exciting.
