Pros

Working at Maesa has been a game-changer for my career. I feel like I've gotten a PHD in how to incubate & opeate a beauty brand at the highest level. I used to work at a big CPG company and felt like a cog in a very old, slow machine. At Maesa, I am literally part of building the machine everyday. While my 'business card' says customer development on it, what i love about Maesa is that you get true end-to-end exposure. I am not only learning & improving my sales skillset, but I am providing input on product development, brand, marketing, finance, and supply chain. My impact is real and truly felt. Culture at the company is great. You can tell that the management team genuinely cares about people & purpose. If you want to surround yourself with the best people in beauty, Maesa is the place.

Cons

This place moves fast. Very fast. This as very jarring for me at first, coming from an established heritage brand. If you can deal with a bit of organized chaos, you'll like it. If not, you'll hate it.

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.
