Pros

-There are some amazing people at Nutrafol - they are kind, caring, authentic, and empathetic. -Because it's a start up, you do work very hard, which is rewarding in my opinion.

Cons

-Leadership is VERY toxic and I cannot stress this enough. The leadership team will blame, gaslight, lie, and make you question yourself at every turn - no matter how experienced or confident you are in your career going in. This continues top down, so causes intense anxiety across the board, no matter what team you are on. -Being a wellness company, you would expect better work/life balance but there is close to none. You are offered unlimited PTO, but you will be made to feel guilt if you take it, or will end up working while you are on it. Communication via slack starts at 6am and doesn't end until 11pm. You are expected to be online 24/7 and answer immediately. If you take 35 minutes to work out, you will hear about it. The leadership will SAY that family/self care comes first, but any time for yourself or your family is implied to come second to Nutrafol. -Boundaries that you try to set for yourself or others on your team will be crossed by leadership. -Negative talk about other employees/teams from team leaders. -Team leaders will make their team feel more like personal assistants than actual employees with experience. -Deeply demeaning talk from team leaders - regardless of your age, experience, etc. you will be made to feel entry level compared to them and they will say it directly to you.

Pros

I've had the opportunity to collaborate with a talented and supportive team. The work is meaningful and I appreciate being part of a company focused on improving people's health and wellness. Leadership encourages innovation and the fast paced environment allows me to expand my skills.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly which leads to fast changing priorities and processes that are evolving.

Pros

The most frustrating part is that the product itself is genuinely good.

Cons

The most disorganized company I've ever worked for. Leadership lacks both managerial experience and basic leadership skills. Project management is virtually nonexistent because even the smallest decisions require endless rounds of approvals from people who have nothing to do with the project, slowing everything to a crawl. As a result, projects, questions, and simple copy that should take a day end up dragging on for months or years, especially for larger-scale decisions. The company has kept a small group of people in leadership roles since the beginning, and instead of bringing in experienced managers, they continue to create new management titles for the same individuals. For a majority of them, this was their first professional job, and it shows. Career growth is nonexistent, and the culture was equally disappointing. People throughout the company are unnecessarily rude and cliquish, making it difficult to get responses or get anything done. HR is no help; they will just join the gossip. They're shockingly disconnected from current digital trends and online culture (and it's only gotten worse). There was an overwhelming focus on creating lengthy reports and presentations that never translated into meaningful action. Innovation is slow, trends are often ignored, and customer feedback rarely seems to influence decisions. They'll go under eventually, and it will entirely be their management team's fault.
